Schoolboy Q said he planned on releasing a video for every track on his Oxymoron album he just might be sticking to that! The TDE rapper dropped visuals for “Hoover Street,” where he goes back to his hood to depict his earlier days of gang banging. Hoover Street is notoriously known in LA for it’s gang violence, and Q takes a walk down memory lane in the Yellow Nguyen and Moosa-directed video. The video is very vivid and powerful, and thankfully Q found his calling in rap before the streets took him under. Check out the video below.
