Prima Donna

Vince Staples

A psychological descent into the pressures of fame. Sparse, industrial-tinged production meets a cold, deadpan delivery that feels like a fever dream.

Find on Amazon

It is like a psychological thriller movie but in the form of a seven-track rap EP.

A high-tension psychological descent that feels like a fever dream in a luxury hotel.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring transition from the distorted 'Let It Shine' intro into the industrial clatter of 'War Ready'.
The way the beat on 'Loco' feels like it is physically collapsing under the weight of the frantic lyrics.
The haunting, slowed-down blues guitar loop on 'Smile' that feels both nostalgic and deeply threatening.
