The excitement surrounding ScHoolboy Q's upcoming album, the Blank Face LP, is steadily increasing with each day. Today, two weeks before the album's release, Q shared part 1 of a short film entitled "By Any Means." The clip also serves as the music video to the Blank Face LP track of the same name. Yesterday, Q shared the album's tracklist as well as its features. There's no Kendrick or Ab-Soul, but the impressive guest list includes names like Vince Staples, E-40, Tha Dogg Pound, and more. As the album has now been made available for pre-order, a KTT user was able to locate some of the names found in the composer credits for each individual track. The list isn't definitive just yet, but with a quick glance, one can see that Q has recruited the very best for the production side of his fourth album.
The producers that appear most frequently are Tae Beast, Sounwave, Cardo, and Nez & Rio. Elsewhere, Metro Boomin and Southside team up for "Dope Dealer," which features E-40, and Tyler, The Creator reappears as a producer (after Oxymoron's "The Purge") for Tha Dogg Pound-featuring "Big Body." As of now, it's difficult to judge the extent of each artist's contributions, especially as Tupac is credited on "Str8 Ballin"; of course, that one is likely influenced by the Pac track of the same name.
And though Kendrick wasn't listed as a featured artist, he is credited next to Cardo as a composer on "Overtime." Check out the updated tracklist, featuring a (likely incomplete) list of the Blank Face LP's producers, below.
