Expect a rap lesson from Schoolboy Q when this year's break out hip-hop star lands in New Zealand for two shows.
The Man of the Year rapper is set to perform at Auckland's Studio on Friday, June 13; the second concert is at Wellington's James Cabaret on Saturday, June 14. Isaiah Rashad will be playing support.
The German-born, Los Angeles-based hip-hop star - real name Quincy Matthew Hanley - released his third album Oxymoron to critical acclaim, and hit No 1 in the US on debut thanks to his hit single Collard Greens.
That song featured a guest spot from Kendrick Lamar - a rapper Schoolboy Q is often compared to.
But his recent album shows he's crafted his own intimidating style of husky thug-rap, especially on the Pharrell-produced stunner Los Awesome and recent single Break the Bank.
