Vince Staples' fourth album is an illustration of what the expression "good kid, mad city", popularised by Kendrick Lamar, might mean. On Vince Staples, the Compton-born rapper explores the stark contrast between the extreme violence of his environment and his childhood, while seeking an escape. He wasn't looking for redemption, but rather light, hope and a reason to live. Entirely produced by Kenny Beats (Smoke DZA, Schoolboy Q, Rico Nasty, Denzel Curry, Slowthai...), these ten haunting tracks sometimes remind us of their protagonist's early recordings. Amidst the harshness of the situations depicted on the superb Take Me Home, there are almost childlike moments, a fascinating encounter between TR-808 rhythms and a sampled chipmunk voice on The Shining, whose apparent calm is clearly hiding a case of gangsta blues syndrome. Vince Staples' discography is flawless, and his fourth album is no exception. © Brice Miclet/Qobuz
