ScHoolboy Q's "5200" is easily the highlight off of "CrasH Talk."

ScHoolboy Q is finally back with his new project, CrasH Talk. The 14-track project hailed features from the likes of 21 Savage, Kid Cudi, Lil Baby, and many more but one track that stands out in Q's solo cut, "5200." The track serves as a turning point in the album of sorts. The first half deals with a bit more subject matter but "5200" is when Q really gets in his bag. Kendrick Lamar's vocals kick in during the intro, revving things up before the beat drops and Q comes through swinging.

The song was initially previewed when Q announced the album and release date a few weeks back. This appears to be the only blatant appearance from Kendrick Lamar on the project, although he does have a few writing credits across the tracklist. Kendrick has had a heavy role in every one of ScHoolboy's projects over the years from SetBacks to CrasH Talk.

Peep "5200" below.

Quotable Lyrics
Dollars ain't C-notes, ayy
House on each coast, ayy
Glock goes emo, ayy
Porsche sound Deebo, ayy
Four words I know, yeah
Fuck all you hoes, ayy
