Vince Staples is a rapper from Compton California. He gained prominence in the era of conscious rap alongside Odd Future. Vince eats, sleeps, and breathes his craft and as a result, he is lyrically one of the most effortlessly consistent in his lane. He's made a lot of music. He also has a lot of equality creating perspectives. That's what "Dark Times" is really about. One weakness of his style is none of his songs particularly standout. It's just good music to vibe or skate to.
