Eagle-eyed viewers of the new Vince Staples music video over the weekend might have noticed a hat emblazoned with the word "CRYBABY" and a date on the side. No worries if you missed it, because Staples has officially announced his upcoming album CRY BABY will be out June 5. "As the world burns, I have decided to release this album," the Long Beach rapper said in an emailed statement.
CRY BABY marks Staples's first full-length since 2024’s Dark Times, his last release under Def Jam. A press release describes CRY BABY as the product of Staples "processing the endlessly repeating cycles of American tumult," and says the album, built around live instrumentation, will be a "sonic shift." That suggests there's plenty more politically savvy guitar music in store following the punk rock-emulating lead single "Blackberry Marmalade" over the weekend.
The full CRY BABY tracklist:
1. Blackberry Marmalade
2. Go! Go! Gorilla
3. White Flag
4. Run and Hide
5. TV Guide
6. The Big Bad Wolf
7. Only In America
8. Do You Know The Devil?
9. Cotton
10. 7 In the Morning
