Vince Staples has announced his new album, Dark Times, set for release on 24th May. The West Coast rapper’s previous album, Ramona Park Broke My Heart, was a career high, receiving widespread acclaim. Known for his unique sense of humour, Staples found success with the Vince Staples Show last year.
Although music took a back seat for a while, Staples has been working on his next project. Constructed over a seven-month period in North Hollywood, Dark Times is now ready for release on Friday.
