Vince Staples Vince Staples (Vinyl LP)

Esteemed hip-hop artist Vince Staples delivers his new self-titled LP via Motown Records. His first full-length release since 2018's critically acclaimed FM!, the 10-track LP delves not only into Staples' upbringing in Long Beach, but his psyche as he learns to cope with his yesterdays and strides toward new tomorrows, picking others up along the way. Of the new Kenny Beats-produced LP, Staples says, "It really gives much more information about me that wasn't out there before. That's why I went with that title. I feel like 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. I'm a mind more than I am an entertainer to a lot of people. I appreciate that my fanbase is willing to go on this ride with me. I'm ready to diversify what we're doing and see how we affect the world."
