Schoolboy Q is about to hit the road as a headliner. The ‘Collard Greens’ creator announces his Oxymoron tour today (Jan. 28), which will begin just four days after his debut album of the same name arrives.
The West Coast MC, born Quincy Matthew Hanley, will bring along fellow TDE member Isaiah Rashad and fellow Left Coast rapper Vince Staples for the trek. They’ll both join Q for all domestic dates while Rashad will support him abroad.
The U.S. leg of the tour kicks off on March 1 in Providence, R.I., and continues until April 17 in Baltimore. On May 1, the ‘Man of the Year’ rapper will begin the first of his European performances in Amsterdam. The tour will come to a close on June 1 in Manchester, U.K.
TDE is on a roll in 2014, as Rashad released his ‘Cilvia Demo’ EP today, which boasts songs like the SZA-assisted ‘Ronnie Drake’ and the head-nodding banger ‘Soliloquy.’
Staples, who landed on our list of 10 West Coast Rappers to Watch in 2014, collaborated with Mac Miller on 2013′s ‘Stolen Youth’ mixtape, which featured the Schoolboy Q collaboration ‘Back Sellin’ Crack.’
Q’s 15-track ‘Oxymoron’ LP, which features fellow Black Hippy members Kendrick Lamar and Ab-Soul, will hit stores Feb. 25.
