Vince Staples

Twenty-two minutes of skeletal, sub-bass-heavy hip-hop. A quiet, introspective look at fame and memory through a cold, digital lens.

It's the sound of a man finally getting everything he wanted and realizing he's still looking over his shoulder.

A quiet, paranoid introspection that feels like a cold breeze in a familiar neighborhood.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the melodic, almost lullaby-like hook of ARE YOU WITH THAT? contrasts with the grim reality of the verses.
The sudden, jarring transition into the spoken word interlude of THE APPLE & THE TREE that grounds the album's themes in family history.
The haunting, skeletal guitar loop on LAW OF AVERAGES that feels like it's circling a drain.
