ScHoolboy Q Pens Heartfelt Tributes to Mac Miller & Nipsey Hussle
As he celebrates the release of his new album CrasH Talk, ScHoolboy Q is honoring two of his fallen friends.
The TDE rapper has penned a pair of heartfelt tributes to Mac Miller and Nipsey Hussle in the booklet for his latest album, which was shared by Genius.
Q has shied away from speaking about Miller in interviews, but he does honor his late friend, who passed away last September. “2 MAC. A song or an interview won’t explain How mucH of a brutHA u was… love u and r last convo was all I needed, tHanks for everytHang,” says Q in his short and sweet note.
