“Do NOT sleep on ScHoolboy Q” the post’s caption read. “One of the best/ my fav rappers of this generation.”
Q came across the complimentary post and commented: “WatcH How I come tHis year.”
ScHoolboy Q’s teaser comes shortly after he debuted a new song during TDE producer Kal Banx’s Boiler Room set in Los Angeles earlier this month.
Q was on stage and rapped some of the lyrics into the mic as the unreleased track played through the speakers. Fellow labelmates Ab-Soul, Isaiah Rashad and SiR could be seen turning up with him behind the turntables.
ScHoolboy Q previously gave an update on his long-awaited new album in June.
The South Central native reposted a clip from the Back on Figg podcast where the hosts revealed they’d been in the studio with Q and his album was dropping “very very soon.”
