Schoolboy Q, whose birthname is Quincy Matthew Hanley, was born in Wiesbaden, West Germany, in 1986 on a U.S. Army Air Base.

His parents had already divorced before he was born, so after his birth, his mother moved with him back to the United States, where he grew up in Los Angeles, California.

Schoolboy was a good athlete and played football through college, but he was also involved in a gang where he began selling drugs and was eventually arrested for a home invasion.

He then turned to music, and following the musical influence of Nas, Biggie, and 50 Cent, he became a star in his own right.

Schoolboy has had success as a single artist as well as with the hip-hop supergroup Black Hippy, and he has multiple singles that have been on the Hot 100 list.
