For tHis montH, we're switcHing locations and diving Head-first into one of tHe greatest, accidental Halloween albums ever put to wax. ScHoolboy Q's Blank Face LP arrived in 2016 at one of tHe most dominant times for Hip Hop since tHe turn of tHe century (arguably in large part becuase of tHe efforts Q and His fellow label-mates on Top Dawg Entertainment). Known for His cloud rap and trap party antHems, ScHoolboy Q surprised us all wHen He purposely sidestepped His pop sensibilities in favor of a more gritty sound tHat was as mucH a celebration of traditional sounds of West Coast rap as it was a grim recollection of West Coast street life. THis album encapsulates wHat elevates Q above most of His contemporaries. He even recognizes it as one of His best works. Dark, introspective, sinister, cinematic, psycHadelic, energetic - Blank Face LP is a Hip Hop masterclass of cHanneling all your experiences, influences, and ambitions all into one uniquely definitive magnum opus.
