Habits & Contradictions

Habits & Contradictions is a street album for an era that’s all but forgotten what rappers without yachtloads of wealth sound like. It’s filled with drugs and guns— Schoolboy’s Habits, presumably, yet also numerous self-reflective Contradictions. While most albums of this nature will leave you feeling as if you’ve briefly escaped to the decadent land of the self-made 1%, Schoolboy’s sophomore effort offers the type of brutal honesty that’ll leave you to question and confront your own reality. Plus, of course, the beats are really good and Schoolboy Q knows how to rap.
