In his latest interview with Hot 97, Schoolboy Q gets some free counselling from Angie Martinez on the less desirable parts of the rap game and tentatively divulges some info on the second coming of his lean addiction.

Martinez hits him with the kind of concern peculiar to that younger aunt you could call on Sunday morning to pick you up from a strange suburb. She even tries to feed him. Trying to keep it light, a jovial Q jokes about linking up with Styles P and collaborating with his juice bar, but when Martinez tries to offer him some of her ginger-carrot-and-something to clean out his insides she gets a “Fuck no, I’d probably put something in that motherfucker too”.

After some persistent questioning, Martinez got some dark secrets out of him. It seems that even though Q took a two-year gap from lean to make Oxymoron, the juice has his nuts in a vice. It’s gotten to the point where even if he had Jennifer Lawrence waiting for him at the hotel, he’d still have to go pick up the bottle and “tell her I had to go do a show or some shit.” He went on to say “My sex life sucks right now… and when it comes to making music, I suck right now,” and that he doesn’t see himself fit to jump on features.

He might be down in the dumps now but you can cop the turnt-up lean-free Schoolboy Q in Oxymoron which will be hitting shelves in the next 24 hours.
