Produced by The Alchemist, who hasn't had a better, higher-profile showing this decade, it's all inchworm piano runs and vinyl crackle, taking the 'If you ainвЂ™t talking money.' clichГ© to new heights. Michael Madden of Consequence of Sound named it one of the album's best tracks saying, 'The most ambitious moment on Oxymoron, is the six-minute вЂњBreak the BankвЂќ. Lizzie Plaugic of CMJ referred to the song as one of the album's essential tracks.

David Jeffries of AllMusic called it an accessible highlight of the album. 'Break the Bank' was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. The music was sampled from 'Something is Happening' the fifth track on Man's 1976 album The Welsh Connection. The production was described as, a 'jarring blend of droning piano and old-school, truck-rattling bass' by Consequence of Sound. He also counts the spoils of his most recent 'rap heist'. The hook which includes the line, 'so now we 'bout to break the bank, money be on my mind,' sets the tone for the song as Schoolboy Q raps about how he's earned his living. The song is a six-minute eerie, rattling song, produced by The Alchemist. This was one of the first records recorded for Oxymoron. The song was recorded in 2012 around the release of Kendrick Lamar's Good Kid, m.A.A.d city, being one of the older records featured on the album he raps: 'Tell Kendrick move from the throne, I came for it,' referencing Lamar's recent rise to superstardom. It was also made available with the pre-order of the album on iTunes. On January 21, 2014, Schoolboy Q released the 'Break the Bank', as the third official single from his major-label debut album Oxymoron.
