ScHoolboy Q has ramped up anticipation for Vince Staples‘ new album by heaping high praise on the project.

“Da new Vince staples album omg,” he wrote. “few records I wanna Hear again.”
When a fan joked: “you can’t be doing this to us man,” Q replied: “He spoke about it on His BIG BOY INTERVIEW.. it’s crazy on lord.”
Vince Staples gave an update on his new album earlier this month, telling Big Boy it’s “close” to being finished and that it would be released before he tours Europe in June.
“I’m working, I’m close. I’m trying to put something out,” he said. “I got Europe in June, so I’m going to try to put something out before I go out there.”

When asked if the project would arrive before he hits the road, Vince confirmed: “Yeah, for sure.”
The Long Beach native is just as much of a fan of Blue Lips as ScHoolboy Q is of his own album, calling it his “best” project.

When a fan asked Vince on social media if he was featured on Q’s album prior to its release last month, he responded: “No but I heard it and hit several dance moves it’s his best yet.”
Then, the day before Blue Lips dropped, he posted on X: “ScHoolboy Q’s Blue Lips album releases tonight. I been working on my Hoover Stomp for a week.”
ScHoolboy Q and Vince Staples previously collaborated on “Ride Out,” which appeared on the former’s 2016 album Blank Face LP.
The pair also appeared together on the Back on Figg podcast last year, where Q said that Vince is a better rapper than him.

“To be honest, bar for bar, he raps better,” he said. “If you talking about technical skill, he’s better than me rapping. I’m really good, though. What I’m saying is, I’m nasty, I’m one of the best, clearly, to ever do it.
“But what I’m saying is, your pen, even the way the speak now, I can’t even speak like you.”

Speaking to HotNewHipHop in 2022, Vince Staples shed light on his relationship with ScHoolboy Q and explained how the “Collard Greens” hitmaker often lends an ear to his work.
“Q will tell you if he likes something, if he didn’t like something,” he said. “He’s not very wordy so he’s like, ‘It’s cool.’ He liked it. So, that’s always a good thing to hear.

“I go to Q kind of to hear what he doesn’t like more than what he does and he didn’t seem to have many complaints so I was happy about that.”
