Vince Staples has announced that he will be releasing his final album with Def Jam, later this week. He shared that the project’s title is Dark Times while reflecting on his experiences with the label in a post on Instagram, on Sunday.
“Eleven years ago, a young, uncertain version of myself was given an opportunity with Def Jam Recordings,” he began. “I released my first project under their banner, Shyne Coldchain Vol 2, a year later. I was unsure of what to expect from the world of music but deeply aware of what I needed: a change in my surroundings and a clear understanding of self. Ten years and seven projects later, I’ve found that clarity. Now, I share with you my final Def Jam release, Dark Times.” He concluded by revealing the project will be dropping on Friday, May 24th.
