Vince Staples announces new album, Dark Times

Vince Staples has announced a new album. On May 24, he’ll release Dark Times via Def Jam. It follows 2022’s Ramona Park Broke My Heart, and today he’s shared a new song, “Shame on the Devil,” which you can hear below.

Staples said the song is “a personal achievement,” and added, “it’s me mastering some things I’ve tried before that I wasn’t great at in the beginning. It’s a testament to musical growth, song structure—all the good stuff.”
