ScHoolboy Q packs a mean punch in the music video for “Overtime,” his Blank Face LP single featuring Miguel and Justine Skye.
The clip might end with Q knocking a guy out, but it's also quite playful. In fact, Groovy Tony spends part of it at a park playground with gorgeous twerkers surrounding him, even getting his hair cut by a bikini-clad lady friend.
Meanwhile, Miguel relaxes with a scenic overview and Justine sings with balloons all around her. All of this leads up to Q punching a potential Skye suitor out in the finale.
Earlier this year, Q talked about how this song came to be during an interview with Los Angeles radio station Real 92.3.
“When I wrote the song, I hated it at first because it reminded me of a bootleg 'Studio' because I was singing on the hook,” he said. “The part Miguel's singing, I was singing. Then I brought Kendrick in. I said, 'Give me that Lord of the Rings stuff you be doing. He did it and then he tell me, 'That ain't it either.' Top heard it and was like, 'We gotta use it.' He tried to make me use my singing part. I'm like, 'It's not happening.' That's when I was like, 'Give me Miguel.'”
“Then I asked [TDE President] Dave [Free], 'Who is another young dark-skinned up and coming artist that's dope and got a good voice?' He gave me a bunch of names and I didn't know much about Justine but I heard her voice,” Q added. “I was like, 'She's beautiful and she sings good. I need her on this record.' Then, there you go. You have the record.”
“Overtime” follows a series of visuals from Blank Face LP, including “John Muir,” “THat Part,” “Groovy Tony,” and a three-part Blank Face short film.
Currently, Q is on his “Blank Face World Tour” with Joey Bada$$.
