ScHoolboy Q is dropping his new album this Friday and the promotional landscape has changed since then … but he’s rejecting one of the biggest platforms of the moment, Bobbi Althoff’s podcast!!!

Q scratched Bobbi off his list while fielding questions about his “Blue Lips” album, but also was able to nix another bucket list item for the project … playing the album for Jay-Z!!!

Last week, the TDE rapper wished upon a star to have a chance to give Hov an exclusive preview, which he did on Monday when he and label president Punch took a trip to the Roc Nation offices.

Q claims Jay asked him to run it back after listening … on March 1, both of their credibilities will be on the line. Hov did break out his Reebok S. Dot Carter sneakers for the occasion though … so album must be a banger!!!

The album marks Q’s first album in nearly 5 years … he’s more comfortable nestling up to the legends than newcomers at this stage in his career.
