Over the past few months, Black Hippy, the Los Angeles-based group featuring Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, Ab-Soul and Schoolboy Q, has gained massive momentum as a collective to watch in hip-hop. When rapper Schoolboy Q stopped by "RapFix Live" this week, he explained what it will to take to facilitate a Black Hippy group album.
Q recounts that initially music wasn't his focus, but once he caught the performing bug, the group quickly bonded. "Once I gained the passion for music, we all clicked," he explains.
He's been generating a name for himself as a solo artist and even sold out his own New York City show this week, and the Habits & Contradictions rapper is more than open to recording a collective Black Hippy album, but only if the price is right. "I want some money if we do Black Hippy," he said, laughing. "We all here for one goal and that's to prevail in this music, live comfortably and stay happy."
Earlier this year, Schoolboy Q told MTV News that he was considering a joint project with Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky. (The duo joined forces on the standout single "Hands on the Wheel" and on Rocky's own mixtape Live.Love.A$AP.) "We're definitely talkin' right now. We may give y'all a project, but it all has to be right," Q said. "A$AP is the homie, man. We kinda live the same lifestyle. I'm a little more gangsta than him, and he's a little more swagger than me, but we kinda the same sh--, just different places."
