BiographyVincent Jamal Staples (born July 2, 1993) is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and actor. He first became known for his appearances on the projects from Odd Future members and affiliates, including Earl Sweatshirt's Earl (2010) and Doris (2013), Mike G.’s Ali (2010) and The Jet Age of Tomorrow's Journey to the 5th Echelon (2010). He signed with Talib Kweli's Blacksmith Records prior to the release of his collaborative mixtape with Mac Miller, Stolen Youth (2013). The following year, he signed with No I.D.'s ARTium Recordings, an imprint of Def Jam Recordings, to release his debut extended play, Hell Can Wait (2014), which received critical acclaim and marked his first entry on the Billboard 200.
His debut studio album, Summertime '06 (2015), spawned the single "Norf Norf", which was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). He subsequently released Big Fish Theory (2017), FM! (2018), Vince Staples (2021), and Ramona Park Broke My Heart (2022). His sixth album, Dark Times (2024), marked his final release with Def Jam. In 2026, Staples released his seventh studio album, Cry Baby, his first album as an independent artist and his debut release for Loma Vista Recordings. Staples' music has been described as West Coast hip-hop, often containing conscious subject matter while production experiments with avant-garde, dance and electronic influences.
Outside of his solo career, Staples is a member of the California-based hip-hop trio Cutthroat Boyz with Aston Matthews and Joey Fatts. He has made several film and television appearances as an actor and a voice artist, including Dope (2015), Mutafukaz (2015), American Dad! (2018), Lazor Wulf (2019–2021), Abbott Elementary (2022-23), and White Men Can't Jump (2023). In 2015, he became the spokesperson and brand ambassador for Sprite.
