On the heels of the success surrounding his 2014 major label debut, Oxymoron, ScHoolboy Q is now about to release his sophomore album, Blank Face. With just a few days left before the album hits store shelves, Q has just released an accompanying cinematic trailer. Complete with consummate cinematography and professional-looking footage, the trailer depicts life in Q's South Central, Los Angeles stomping ground. It opens with Q hanging out with his friends, before quickly cutting to subsequent footage of Q getting arrested and going through the rigmarole of legal proceedings.

Nestled in the background of the trailer sits a new track that features a menacing, minor key piano sample layered over a trap drum pattern. Paired with the already-released singles from the album, “Groovy Tony” and “That Part,” this new song showcased in the trailer has the album poised to be an impressive offering. The video was directed by Jack Begert, who also directed the video for Q's “Groovy Tony,” and The Little Homies, Kendrick Lamar's directing team.
Just a few days prior to the release of the trailer, Q released the album's cover art. Before initially trolling fans with some parody versions of the album cover that featured the Crying Jordan meme and Donald Trump, Q finally unveiled the official art for Blank Face. Fans can purchase the album in stores on its July 8th release date.
