ScHoolboy Q is ready to bless his fans with some new music, confirming that he has a new album on the way in the very near future.
The TDE rapper revealed the news on Tuesday (June 6) with a retweet of a clip of the Back On Figg podcast hosts announcing that they’d been in the studio with Q.

“We been in the mixing process of ScHoolboy Q’s album. That shit is coming very very soon,” the podcast hosts said. “The album sounding fire. We just now letting y’all know. This is something big right now. We have been in the studio with my brother every week. The album sounding fire. Fire, you know what I’m saying?”

The as-of-yet untitled effort will follow 2019’s CrasH Talk, which featured appearances from Travis Scott, 6lack, Ty Dolla $ign, YG, 21 Savage, Kid Cudi and Lil Baby. It debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with 81,000 album-equivalent units sold in its first week, making for ScHoolboy Q’s third Top 10 album.
Of course, the “CHopstix” rapper has been promising this album for some time now – once telling fans that they could expect it at the top of 2021.
He also promised during a performance at London’s O2 Academy Brixton in January 2020 that his follow-up album would be released in 2020.
“I’ma constantly be here bruh, I’m not lying to you, I swear to God,” he said. “I’ma drop a whole other album this year, I promise you that. I promise you that, I’m not lying this time! And I’m the most lying-ist muthafucka ever! I’ll drop next month. Yeah right. N-gga, I’m dropping an album this year, I promise you that.
“I’ve been working on this album since CrasH Talk came out. I been working non-stop. I constantly work because I’m hungry and I love to create. And every time when I come out and I see my fans, it makes me appreciate this shit way more than what it is.”

In August 2021, Q previewed a batch of new songs — including collaborations with The Alchemist and Rico Nasty — on Twitch. “I’ve been working hard on this album. Really, really hard,” he said during the livestream. “From the production to the [lyrics] — just not rushing things.”
He added: “It doesn’t sound like none of my albums. It sounds like its own.”
Nothing came of it, however. As of now, ScHoolboy Q’s last music drop was the one-off single “Soccer Dad” in April 2022. Listen to the Tae Beast, DJ Fu and Skhye Hutch-produced track here.
