The follow-up to 2022’s Ramona Park Broke My Heart, Vince Staples has announced that he will release his sixth album Dark Times on May 24, 2024.
“Eleven years ago, a young, uncertain version of myself was given an opportunity with Def Jam Recordings,” Vince said on his social media account. “I released my first project under their banner, Shyne Coldchain Vol 2, a year later. I was unsure of what to expect from the world of music but deeply aware of what I needed: a change in my surroundings and a clear understanding of self. Ten years and seven projects later, I’ve found that clarity. Now, I share with you my final Def Jam release.”
Staples has also shared the project’s first focus track, “Shame on the Devil.”
