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 his label-mates and fellow California-based rappers Ab-Soul, Jay Rock and Kendrick Lamar. In 2008, Hanley released his first full-length project, a mixtape titled ''ScHoolboy Turned Hustla''. He later released a follow-up in 2009, titled ''Gangsta & Soul''. He then returned in January 2011, with his first independent album, titled ''Setbacks''. The project, released under TDE, to digital retailers only, reached number 100 on the US ''Billboard'' 200 chart. A little over a year later, his second independent album ''Habits & Contradictions'', was also released exclusively to digital retailers. The album received generally favorable reviews and debuted at number 111 on the US ''Billboard'' 200. After signing with Interscope, Hanley subsequently began recording his major-label debut studio album, titled ''Oxymoron''. The album was released on February 25, 2014 and debuted at number one on the US ''Billboard'' 200. The album was supported by the singles "Yay Yay", "Collard Greens", "Man of the Year", "Break the Bank" "Studio" and "Hell of a Night", with "Collard Greens", "Man of the Year" and "Studio" all charting on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart. == Early life== Quincey Hanley was born October 26, 1986, on a military base in Wiesbaden, Germany. His parents split up before he was born, and his mother gave him a surname different to those of both his parents, supposedly at random. His father remained in the Army while his mother left and moved with Hanley to Texas for a couple years, before settling in California.〔 He grew up in Los Angeles, California, on 51st Street, neighboring Figueroa and Hoover Street. He claims to have been playing American football from the age of six years old, up until he was 21. Hanley played receiver, cornerback, and tailback, and in college he played receiver and returner. After graduating Crenshaw High School, Hanley went on to attend Glendale Community College, Los Angeles City College, Southwest College and West Los Angeles College, the latter of which is where he played football for the West Los Angeles Oilers: "I went to West L.A. college, I went to Southwest college, LACC, and Glendale. I didn't really get the school like that. I would go to practice and go home. I wasn't really paying attention in class. I was just in there making sure I did enough work so I could still be eligible. I wasn't really trying to pass the class. I was just trying to be eligible to play football." As to how he came up with his stage name: "When I was in school, all the homies called me Schoolboy. I wore glasses and I had a 3.3 in high school, before fucking up my senior year gang-banging. My name's Quincey, so I just stick to Schoolboy Q." Growing up on Hoover Street, Hanley joined a street gang called the 52 Hoover Gangster Crips: "I was gang-banging at 12. I was a Hoover Crip. My homies were doing it and I wanted to do it. I can't really explain that. I didn't get into it with another hood or anything like that. I was just following the leader." Before turning to music, Hanley became a drug dealer selling Oxycontin, and for a short time crack and marijuana: "I was selling Oxycontin. I sold crack a little bit, but I didn't make a whole lot of money selling crack or weed or any of that. I made a lot of money selling Oxycontin. I used to go out of town and get it. You just sit back, your homie tell you about this person, and that person spread the word. And then they come to you. You don't need to get that hype. So I was selling all types of shit. Got beat up, beat shit up." In 2007, he was arrested for a crime he won't disclose and says he was sent to jail for six months, half of which he finished on house arrest: "When I was 21 I got arrested and went to jail. I got a felony charge and they gave me a strike too. I don't be putting out what my charge was but it wasn't a sexual thing."〔〔 He revealed on reddit that it was related to a home invasion but did not go in to detail.〔https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1v018q/i_am_schoolboy_q_ama_oxymoron_puffy/cencwp1〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Schoolboy Q」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
