BIG FISH THEORY is the long-awaited follow-up to Summertime ’06, Vince’s universally praised debut album of 2015. The monster 20-track long-player was called “a modern gangster rap classic” (New York Times) and cemented Vince’s status as one of music's most creative young MCs. In August 2016, he released the critically celebrated seven-track EP, Prima Donna, with a ten-minute short film directed by Nabil Elderkin.
Vince recently wrapped up The Life Aquatic Tour of the U.S. & Canada. This was the first major headlining North American tour of his career; Life Aquatic was also the first time that Vince toured material from Prima Donna. The 8-week tour, with Brooklyn’s Kilo Kish in support (she is featured on Prima Donna’s “Loco”) racked up advance sell-outs in major markets including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago (2 nights), Boston and Philadelphia.
Staples, was named one of Billboard’s “Six Must-See Summer Festival Acts” and is now looking ahead to huge 2017 festival bookings at Comedy Central’s Colossal Clusterfest, Electric Forest, Pitchfork Festival, Panorama Festival, and Life Is Beautiful, among others.
Vince has worked with dozens of today’s hottest artists. Most recently; he has been featured on tracks with the Gorillaz ("Ascension"), Flume ("Smoke & Retribution"), Schoolboy Q (“Ride Out”) and GTA (“Little Bit Of This”).
