Vince Staples is gearing up to drop his sophomore album, according to Pitchfork.
The LP will be given to those who purchased VIP packages for Vince’s The Life Aquatic Tour, which starts February 24, and the label says the project is on its way to the public “very soon.”
The album will include the Long Beach rapper’s new single “Bagbak.”
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.”
Last year, Staples shared the Prima Donna EP and 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.”
Slurp slurp slurp. Spit….That is all i hear coming from HHDX when it comes to Vince Staples. He is the most overrated artist y’all pump soooo hard. Like seriously. Nate and Shots are and forever will be his best songs. The rest is trappy weak sauce without meaningful content.
I’ve tried listening to vince after hearing his killer verse on the Common song, but none of the music is very good to me. In fact I’ve listened several times to see if it grows on me but it never does. I really don’t see what the fuss is about
Vince Staples? Who cares smh
Dope. Vince Staples Raw!! Let’s Go!!
Drop it. This man keeps getting better and better.
Dude is hella overrated. Stop hating on the 90s young punk!
