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.”
Last year, Staples shared the Prima Donna EPand an accompanying short film. The project was named one of HipHopDX’s best free projects of 2016/a>.
He also received his first plaque, a Gold certification in Australia for his work on Flume’s “Smoke and Retribution.”
