Schoolboy Q Says Label Made Him Put Miguel Collaboration on 'Blank Face'

[LevelUp]

Wildhearted R&B singer Miguel is just one of the many big artists that made it onto Schoolboy Q's forthcoming Blank Face LP, but it turns out he might not have been invited onto the collection by the Top Dog entertainer himself. Q told a crowd tonight (June 29) that his label "made" him include the singer on a track called "Overtime."

Schoolboy Q made the reveal at a Blank Face listening party event in New York that was hosted by Hot 97's Peter Rosenberg. According to multiple tweets [via Complex], the rapper told the crowd that "Overtime" is quite noticeably in the same wheelhouse as his all night recording session-summarizing "Studio" single from 2014's Oxymoron, a song that featured R&B singer BJ the Chicago Kid on the hook. Of the newer tune, Q purportedly called it a "bootleg ass studio song."

"They made me put this on the album," he told the Blank Face crowd of the collaborative track.

"Overtime" features both Miguel and Justine Skye. As previously reported, Blank Face also features appearances from Kanye West, Anderson .Paak, Vince Staples, Jadakiss, Tha Dogg Pound and more.

[beejus]

Not surprised. Labels want their radio hit. He gave them one his first album. They want another for this album.

 

[vaudevillevillain]

damn homie

 

[TheRtist]

no surprise, Schoolboy Q still an employee

 

[Palm Tree's & Blunts]

This guy seems like he's constantly bytching about something.

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

I mean unless you want to be a soundcloud rapper, if you sign to Interscope, this is what you should expect. They are not always wrong either.

I remember Lupe bytching about the label telling him to do certain songs then 6 months later this guy buys two Ferraris so.....

 

[Sauce Dab]

It worked with "studio"

But Interscope should get with the times tho. Nobody's trying to hear a single pushed on us anymore, let the people decide what the single should be imo

 

[Harry B]

Miguel is a much greater artist than him and I fukk with him, and he's not a "big mover".
No need to disrespect him by saying "made him", and it's not like he hasn't had R&B artists Jhene Aiko, BJ and SZA on his other projects and this very project.

 

[Microfracture]

How is this any different than Fantasy and Sex Drive he did with Aiko before he signed to Interscope?

 

[Hood Critic]

Of course they did, they need a record they know 100% that they can shop.

 

[Bathing Ape]

Studio is one of his biggest songs so of course they would stick with what works.

 

[Zero]

So now we know the track to skip on the album

Cop pleas before you album drops brehs

I don't get the shade either, Q my dude but Miguel is a fantastic R&B singer and one of the best artists in music today. This is a good look for Q
