vs Vince Staples Announces 'Prima Donna' (EP)

Vince Staples has proven himself to be a force in the game with a slew of mixtape releases and hitting us with his debut album Summertime ’06 last year ago. Today, the good news has been handed down that the Norfside Long Beach rapper is prepping the release a brand new project named Prima Donna. During an interview with The FADER, Vince linked the info about the album’s title and even gave the writer an exclusive listen to the album.

Writer Jeff Weiss reaction on listening to Prima Donna for FADER:

That evening, as we listen to songs from Staples’s forthcoming Prima Donna EP, the sturdy insulated walls at Hollywood’s Record Plant Studios shake so hard that you envision the platinum plaques falling to the ground. The eyes of the ultra-professional engineers give the “great googly moogly” bulge. Even though this isn’t their first time hearing the EP, they tell Staples they haven’t heard anything like this before. It’s the truth, not idle flattery. With production from James Blake and DJ Dahi, the six-song set starts with a rap star killing himself and concludes with him first coming to fame. You’re meant to be able to play it front-to-back or back-to-front. Either way, it’s a chaotic fusion of warped soul, distorted hooks, and extraterrestrial demonic spirituals. The tentative release date is sometime this summer.
