Vince Staples

Released: October 27, 2015

They tried to kill me in my younger days
Slave to the block, not a runaway
Funny how a nigga get a whip or run away
Funny how a nigga get a chain or run away
They tried to kill me in my younger days
We was on the block like it's hunger games
We was from the cops like it's hunger games
Said we was running from the cops like it's hunger games
Northside LB, nigga's can't tell me nothing
I hope the scales be tipping in my favor
I was thirteen busting at the neighbors
Then I was fifteen fucking on the neighbors
I had a 16 before I turned sixteen
Fourteen with a [?]
I made a hundred racks and gave it to my momma
I made fifty racks and bought the homies choppers
I made a hundred racks and gave it to my granny
I make a million dollars when I hit the grammy's
And if I don't, nigga so what?
We got the whole Long Beach sold up

If you haven’t heard about Vince Staples yet, you’ve been missing out. Hailing from the LBC, Vince is one of the single best young talents that the West Coast has to offer.

Vince has been making waves since his initial breakout with the Odd Future crew and has recently even signed a deal with Def-Jam and the legendary No I.D.’s label Artium. Everything you need to know about how dope Mr. Staples can be found in his ridiculous, breakout verse on “Hive” by Earl Sweatshirt. While you’re at it, Vince has released a slew of projects over the course of the past few years, including the Shyne Coldchain series, (both 1 and 2), and the Hell Can Wait EP. It all culminates to his debut album, Summertime 06.

After the release of Summertime ‘06, Vince would go on to release his Prima Donna EP which would feature one of hip-hop’s biggest artists, A$AP Rocky.
