Vince Staples returns with a bold new body of work titled “Cry Baby,” his seventh studio album, globally released on June 5, 2026.
The project arrives under Loma Vista Recordings and his own Section Eight Arthouse imprint, marking a new independent phase following his departure from Def Jam.
“Cry Baby” signals a noticeable shift in sonic direction for the Long Beach rapper, moving beyond conventional hip-hop structures into a more experimental space. The album incorporates live instrumentation, soul-infused rock textures, and alternative, punk-inspired elements, creating a layered and genre-blending listening experience that expands Staples’ artistic range.
With a concise 10-track lineup, the project includes songs such as “Blackberry Marmalade,” “Go! Go! Gorilla,” “White Flag,” and “Cotton,” among others. Each track contributes to a tightly constructed narrative that reflects both personal perspective and broader social commentary.
As an independent release, “Cry Baby” represents a significant moment in Vince Staples’ career, showcasing creative freedom and a willingness to challenge traditional hip-hop boundaries while maintaining his signature sharp storytelling and minimalist intensity.
