Before Channel Orange and m.A.A.d city, SCHOOLBOY Q’sHabits And Contradictions was a lead candidate for Rap Album Of The Year in 2012. Luckily, for anyone who enjoyed the record’s Portishead and Quincy Jones samples, the 26-year-old is readying a follow-up and “Yay Yay”, found below, is its first taste. The track was produced by Boi-1da (Drake, Nicki Minaj) and like a freshman in a Final Four game, Q quickly makes you a victim rather than a spectator.
Schoolboy Q’s new album Oxymoron will be out later this year
