Vince Staples new album
On May 24, Staples dropped his sixth studio album “Dark Times.”
Made up of 13 tracks, the gifted rapper showcases his soulful, exquisite production skills and effortless flow every step of the way all while dropping in trippy interludes.
Highlights include the gorgeously arranged “Black&Blue,” downbeat piano banger “Government Cheese” and spaced out, dreamy “Shame On The Devil.”
Still, the real standout might be “Little Homies” with its pristine backing beat and Staples’ most urgent flow. “Life hard but I go hard,” the chorus repeats on a loop. It’s not only a “Dark Times” mission statement but sounds just as hard as its message. We can’t wait to hear this one live.
Want to check out “Dark Times”? You can stream the album here.
“The Vince Staples Show”
A week after the album dropped, Netflix renewed Staples’ surreal series for a second season.
The first season, set in Staples’ native Long Beach, ran five episodes. For a closer look, you can catch the show’s official trailer here:
Baby Rose
At nearly all gigs, Staples will be joined by singer-songwriter Baby Rose.
If you’ve never heard the 29-year-old Washington, D.C. native, think of the soulful samples that populate Staples’ albums and you won’t be a million miles off from her sound (to be fair, she is featured on his song “Shame On The Devil”).
Smoky, husky, seductive, emotive and playful all at once, her music is a throwback to the late ’60s and early ’70s. We promise you’ll be in your feels when you hear her powerful voice live this fall.
For those who want to do a deeper dive, you can find Baby Rose’s complete discography here.
