Vince Staples has dropped a new track.
Magic is the first single to be lifted from his new album, 'Ramona Park Broke My Heart', due out in April through Blacksmith Recordings/Motown Records/Motown Records UK, though an exact date has not yet been announced.
The song finds the American hip hop artist delivering laid-back bars atop a bass-led backdrop that boasts production by Mustard.
The record is named after his hometown, the Ramona Park neighborhood of Long Beach, California. He said:
“It’s symbolic of home. And everyone has a home. Even though it’s very personal to me, everyone can relate to it. That’s why I thought it would work for this chapter.
“I think it’ll put the listener in a good state of mind. The mood of it defines the project.”
Discussing this album's connection to its 2021 self-titled predecessor, he added: “They were kind of created at the same time. I was in a similar state of mind. I’m still working through things and the questions that life poses. This album will make even more sense if you heard the previous one. This one has more answers.”
Vince Staples is currently on the road supporting Tyler, The Creator on the North American leg of his Call Me If You Get Lost Tour. Meanwhile, he's also due to release his debut graphic novel, Limbo Beach, in March.
