Blank Face LP

Blank Face LP is the fourth studio album by the American rapper Schoolboy Q. It was released on July 8, 2016, through Top Dawg Entertainment and distributed by Interscope Records. SchoolBoy Q began work on the album in July 2014, months after the release of his major label debut Oxymoron. After briefly considering retirement from rap music to spend more time with his family, he set up a home studio and resumed working on the album in the summer of 2015; it was completed in April 2016. The album's production was primarily handled TDE's in-house production team, Digi+Phonics, alongside older and newer collaborators including Swizz Beatz, Metro Boomin, Southside, Nez & Rio, DJ Dahi, The Alchemist and Tyler, the Creator. It also features guest appearances from Kanye West, Jadakiss, E-40, Tha Dogg Pound, Miguel and Anderson .Paak, among others.

Blank Face LP was supported by three singles, "Groovy Tony", "That Part" and "Overtime", and several music videos, including a trilogy of short films. Schoolboy Q also made appearances on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel Live! and embarked on the Groovy Tony Pit Stops concert tour in July 2016, followed by the Blank Face World Tour, which saw the rapper tour North America, Oceania and Europe with Joey Badass between August to December 2016.

Blank Face LP received widespread acclaim from critics and debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 and number one on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, selling 74,000 units in its first week. In 2018, the album was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). "That Part" also reached number 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, and was certified double-platinum by the RIAA. At the 59th Annual Grammy Awards in 2017, the album received a nomination for Best Rap Album, while "That Part" was nominated for Best Rap Performance. In 2022, Rolling Stone ranked the album at number 164 on its list of "The 200 Greatest Hip Hop Albums of All Time".
