Rama’s Hip-Hop Tune of the Week #1

Schoolboy Q - ‘Hands On The Wheel’ (feat. A$AP Rocky)

Rama’s Hip-Hop Tune of the Week #1

As the imaginatively named title of this column would suggest, each week I hope to bring you a top notch hip-hop tune. This week’s song comes courtesy of Schoolboy Q’s recently released album Habits and Contradictions. The song samples a live Lissie cover of the Kid Cudi track ‘The Pursuit of Happiness’ for the chorus and also features critic’s favourite A$AP Rocky. In an album with a general tone of moody introspective aggression, ‘Hands on the Wheel’ is a relatively upbeat affair with tight production courtesy of Best Kept Secret.

The song is one of the most accessible on the album and is a good introduction to the versatility of Schoolboy Q’s rapping. The album also contains features from the other members of the Black Hippy Crew who are helping to reinvent West Coast rap. If you’re a fan of the old-school hardcore hip-hop reminiscent of N.W.A. I would recommend checking out the album.
