AceShowbiz - ScHoolboy Q has announced that he is working on a new album titled Thank Que, marking a fresh chapter in his career. On July 9, 2026, the rapper shared a studio photo on his Instagram Story, revealing that the project is nearly complete and contains 12 tracks. He emphasized that this album has been in the works for some time and confirmed his return to music.

This upcoming release will follow ScHoolboy Q’s critically praised 2024 album, Blue Lips, which featured collaborations with artists such as Freddie Gibbs, Rico Nasty, Ab-Soul, and AK Chike. That album debuted at number 13 on the Billboard 200 chart, establishing a strong presence in the hip-hop scene.

Importantly, Thank Que will be the first full-length album from ScHoolboy Q recorded without the influence of marijuana. Earlier in May 2026, the Los Angeles rapper disclosed during an interview on the Par 3 Podcast with J.R. Smith and Stephen Malbon that he had quit smoking weed after years of heavy use. He explained that smoking up to 20 times daily led to burnout and diminished effects.

His decision to stop was motivated largely by a desire to set a positive example for his daughters, showing them that determination can overcome any obstacle. While acknowledging that marijuana may have health benefits for some, ScHoolboy Q stated that his personal usage was not beneficial. Since quitting, he has committed to never returning to the habit.

Fans can expect Thank Que to reflect this new mindset and creative direction when it arrives. The announcement photo and message have generated excitement among listeners eager to hear how this fresh start will translate into his music.

Stay tuned for more updates on ScHoolboy Q’s upcoming album and follow his journey as he embarks on this next phase of his artistic career.
