After a nearly 3 year hiatus, Vince Staples has returned with a self-titled album. Titled Vince Staples, the Long Beach rapper gives us 10 new songs featuring the single “Law of Averages.”
“I was having a lot of conversations with a lot of people around me, and people always said, ‘Oh, you used to always say these stories and this and that, and I don’t notice much about these specific things. Why don’t you put it into the music?’ And it’ll be stuff that has been in songs for years,” Vince said while speaking with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. “And then I realize… the backdrop wasn’t right for certain things I was saying or vice versa. So I feel like this is kind of very descript and distinct… not just where I come from, it’s not a bunch of glory stories or things like that, I guess it’s just more personal.”
“It really gives much more information about me that wasn’t out there before.” That’s why I went with the title,” he said in another statement. “I’ve 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.”
Most recently, Vince joined Home Grown Radio for another interview, which you can watch here. For now, check out Vince Staple’s new album below.
