Schoolboy Q‘s new album CrasH Talk dropped everywhere Friday following a three-year hiatus. To celebrate his new release, Schoolboy Q opened up a two-day pop-up shop in the middle of LA’s Fairfax District. The pop-up shop gave fans the chance to buy exclusive merch, copies of the new album, and even get the chance to meet the “Numb Numb Juice” rapper himself.

Schoolboy Q included a tribute to Mac Miller and Nipsey Hussle in the liner notes for CrasH Talk. He noted his respect for Nipsey Hussle’s successful community outreach. “Neva thought this day would come. Thanks for wat you done for this city. Us growing up on different sides of the fence neva changed the way u carried yaself wheneva we would meet,” wrote Q. “Wat you did for yo community speaks volume.”
