Vince Staples + James Blake music is on the way...

Vince Staples features on the cover of The Fader’s annual Summer Music Issue, and the interview is really very good, but most importantly, it’s revealed that Staples is preparing to release a new EP called 'Prima Donna' which features production from none other than James Blake.

Here’s an excerpt from the interview:
 

That evening, as we listen to songs from Staples’s forthcoming Prima Donna EP, the sturdy insulated walls at Hollywood’s Record Plant Studios shake so hard that you envision the platinum plaques falling to the ground. The eyes of the ultra-professional engineers give the “great googly moogly” bulge. Even though this isn’t their first time hearing the EP, they tell Staples they haven’t heard anything like this before. It’s the truth, not idle flattery. With production from James Blake and DJ Dahi, the six-song set starts with a rap star killing himself and concludes with him first coming to fame. You’re meant to be able to play it front-to-back or back-to-front. Either way, it’s a chaotic fusion of warped soul, distorted hooks, and extraterrestrial demonic spirituals. The tentative release date is sometime this summer.
