ScHoolboy Q announces ‘Blank Face LP’ 10th anniversary tour

ScHoolboy Q‘s Blank Face LP, one of the best rap albums of the 2010s, turned 10 in July and the TDE rapper will celebrate the album on a 10th anniversary tour this October. It includes an already-sold-out show at LA’s Palladium, along with a newly-added LA show at the Novo as well as stops in Atlanta, NYC, DC, Las Vegas, and more. An artist presale begins Wednesday (8/5) at 10 AM local and the general public on-sale starts Friday (8/7).

In our list of the 100 best rap and R&B albums of the 2010s, we said:

As Black Hippy’s second stringer behind Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q’s immense potential was clear from the start, but he was always better at a few good singles or show-stealing guest appearances than at making the kind of fleshed-out, full-length albums that his most famous groupmate would make. The closest he came, though, was 2016’s Blank Face LP. Following his promising 2012 breakthrough Habits & Contradictions and its uneven major label followup Oxymoron, Q finally focused on the thing he was best at — hard-hitting, cold, dark songs with his meanest, leanest rhymes in the forefront — and made a whole album in that vein. Even the album’s one pop-friendly song, the Kanye West-featuring “That Part,” is more menacing than his usual standout singles. It’s probably Q’s last album you’d reach for if you wanted to dance, but it’s his most focused, consistently rewarding work.

The NYC show happens on October 3 at Brooklyn Paramount. All dates are listed below.
