ScHoolboy Q Announces New Album “Blue Lips”: Release Date, Tracklist & Reactions

by

Well, it’s finally time. After four years of teasing, a lot of hard work, and an avalanche of fan anticipation, ScHoolboy Q has finally and officially announced his next studio album: Blue Lips. Moreover, he did so through a teaser trailer that shows a group of colleagues, on car and on foot, arriving at a street alley with the project’s tracklist written out on a building’s wall. By visiting the TDE rapper’s website, you can see a counter that lets you know exactly how long you will have to wait for this LP to drop. Fortunately, it’s not a long wait at all, and fans can pre-save the full-length on their preferred streaming service, preview merch, and sign up for updates on the site, too.

Furthermore, Blue Lips will release on March 1, and the teaser indicates that it will comprise of 17 tracks or so, if each title is a line long. If not, then it’ll be shorter, but either way, there are certain titles that really caught fans’ eyes. For example, ScHoolboy Q fans made a ruckus over the song “Blue Slides,” given the apparent reference to Mac Miller’s debut album Blue Slide Park from 2011. Die-hards are hoping that this includes a feature from the Philly MC given their close relationship, but the prospect of being let down if it doesn’t appear isn’t enough to dissuade listeners’ excitement for this project.
