Vince Staples has announced his eighth studio album.
The follow-up to 2022's 'Ramona Park Broke My Heart' is titled 'Dark Times' and will arrive this Friday (May 24), marking his final record on Def Jam.
Staples has also shared a new song, Shame On The Devil, which features production from Joe Harrison, Michael Uzowuru, Mino, Tyler Page and Staples himself. It finds the West Coast rapper dropping bars over a smooth drum beat and soft guitars.
