In 2009, Hanley signed to Carson-based independent record label Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) and in late 2011, secured a recording contract with major label Interscope Records. Hanley is also a member of the hip-hop supergroup Black Hippy, alongside labelmates and fellow California-based rappers Ab-Soul, Jay Rock, and Kendrick Lamar.
On August 27, 2013, Hanley appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, alongside Macklemore, to perform “White Walls”, the sixth single from the duo’s platinum-selling debut album The Heist, which was released in October 2012.
In June 2013, Schoolboy Q performed at the 2013 BET Experience Music Festival with Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg and Miguel, immediately preceding the BET Awards show.
In 2014, Hanley began recording his major-label debut studio album, titled Oxymoron. The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 and was preceded by the singles “Collard Greens” (featuring Kendrick Lamar), “Man of the Year”, “Studio” (featuring BJ the Chicago Kid) and “Hell of a Night”. The first three singles all charted on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, with “Studio” remaining his best-performing as a lead artist to date.
Schoolboy Q cites rappers Nas, 50 Cent, Jay-Z, The Notorious B.I.G., Kurupt, and Tupac as artists who influenced him: “But Biggie, Nas and 50 Cent [are my biggest influences]”. He claims that Nas is his favorite rapper of all time.
