Rapper ScHoolboy Q finds inspiration on the course

Life: Q's Muse

IF YOU DON’T know the origin of the name, you must not be into hip-hop. Good grades and athletic participation were unique attributes for a teen caught up in South Central Los Angeles gang activity, and from then on, Quincy Matthew Hanley became known as ScHoolboy Q. His 2014 album, “Oxymoron,” debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200, and he has toured alongside rappers Ab-Soul, Jay Rock and Kendrick Lamar in the supergroup Black Hippy. Now 32, Q is a devoted father who lives in a gated community and is a member of Calabasas (Calif.) Country Club. While his fans eagerly await a fifth studio album, we caught up with Q at his home track. Here ScHoolboy Q is interviewed by his regular golf buddy, Stephen Malbon, co-founder of L.A.-based clothing brand Malbon Golf.
