ALBUM: Schoolboy Q- Oxymoron

The first track on this album is called "Gansta". Schoolboy Q says the word "gangsta" in it just under a hundred times; that's once every two and a bit seconds. How you feel about this fact is probably a good indicator of how you feel about Q's third album Oxymoron.

It's a Black Hippy release from Top Dawg, but don't expect another Good Kid, M.a.a.d City; This album isn't going to break any major ground. But with tracks like the grimey domestic tales of Hoover street; the twisted feel good vibes of Break The Bank; and guest features from the likes of Raekwon, Kendrick Lamar and Kurupt this is a highly successful update of the same strain of hip hop that's been running since Wu-Tang Clan or Death Row Records.

Oxymoron is out now on Digital Download from Top Dawg Entertainment
