Over the years, ScHoolboy Q has developed a reputation for his unapologetic, hard-hitting tracks, as well as his dynamic collaborations with artists across various genres. Tracks such as "Collard Greens," "Man of the Year," and "Studio" have cemented his status as a versatile and influential figure in contemporary hip-hop.
