Vince Staples – White Flag

Vince Staples has consistently demonstrated a disregard for conventional expectations, and the release strategy for “Cry Baby” highlights this approach. This week, the Long Beach artist unveiled “White Flag,” a politically-themed single accompanied by impactful visuals of him painting the U.S. flag and shooting at a white flag. The dreamy live instrumentation and haunting background vocals lend the track a significant and lingering atmosphere. “White Flag” is the second single from his upcoming album, following “Blackberry Marmalade,” and signifies another assertive move in Vince Staples’s post-Def Jam Recordings phase.
