Vince Staples and Netflix have revealed the release date for The Vince Staples Show. February 15 will be the big day on the streaming platform. For fans of the dry humor from the multi-talented rapper, there’s a lot to look forward to. Ian Edelman and Maurice Williams worked with Staples to achieve the tone and tenor of the humor. The trailer is basically a feast for hip-hop fans who love the absurdity of the genre and Los Angeles, California’s peculiarities on a large-scale. Following up Ramona Park Broke My Heart was not going to be an easy task. But, The Vince Staples Show seems to be right in the pocket for one of Rap’s most distinct voices.
