ScHoolboy Q talks about not releasing new music more often.
ScHoolboy Q was the recent guest on BackOnFigg podcast, where the rapper sat down for a detailed interview for around four hours. During the conversation, the TDE rapper explains why he doesn’t drop new projects every other year.
“This is our life, like me talking about our situations, like y’know, the sh-t we done been through, homies we done lost to the system or to the streets,” he explains. “Like me talkin’ about my mama trauma from her own brothers is like… you can’t compare that to somebody that won a NBA championship.”
He continued, “When it comes to music, I don’t look at it as like, ‘Oh, you have to drop every year.’ I’m like, no, your favorite rapper has to drop every year because he needs chilli. I do what I want because I move off peace, I move off my experiences.”
“As a artist, if I bring nothing to the table that comes from my life, I don’t feel I should put it out,” he added.

It’s been four years since ScHoolboy Q last released an album, as he dropped his fifth studio effort “Crash Talk” in 2019. He hasn’t released anything in over a year, as he last dropped the song titled “Soccer Dad” in early 2022.
In the interview, Schoolboy also credited Kendrick Lamar for saving his life. “Dot taught me,” he said. “Dot taught me so much, bro. Dot… Dot gave me… Dot gave me so much confidence. Dot made me a rapper. This sh-t make me want to cry right now.” “Dot saved my life,” he added. “I owe a lot to Dot.”
