The news of the new album was confirmed when Staples tweeted out Pitchfork’s story.

This is the follow-up to the 23-year-old MC’s debut album, Summertime ’06, a double disc project that dropped in 2015 to critical acclaim. HipHopDX gave the LP a 4.5 rating, saying “Staples’ unassuming character clashes with some of the tales of gang exploits, but the effect is of chilling believability.”
