After a nearly 3 year hiatus,Ā Vince StaplesĀ has returned with a self-titled album. Titled Vince Staples, the Long Beach rapper gives us 10 new songs featuring the single āLaw of Averages.ā
āI was having a lot of conversations with a lot of people around me, and people always said, āOh, you used to always say these stories and this and that, and I donāt notice much about these specific things. Why donāt you put it into the music?ā And itāll be stuff that has been in songs for years,ā Vince said while speaking with Apple Musicās Zane Lowe. āAnd then I realizeā¦ the backdrop wasnāt right for certain things I was saying or vice versa. So I feel like this is kind of very descript and distinctā¦ not just where I come from, itās not a bunch of glory stories or things like that, I guess itās just more personal.ā
āIt really gives much more information about me that wasnāt out there before.ā Thatās why I went with the title,ā he said in another statement. āIāve been trying to tell the same story. As you go on in life, your point of view changes. This is another take on myself that I might not have had before.āĀ
