Esteemed artist Vince Staples latest album Ramona Park Broke My Heart was released via Blacksmith Recordings / Motown Records UK.  To celebrate the release – a tribute to the Ramona Park neighborhood in Long Beach where he grew up – Staples announced Ramona Park Broke My Heart The Musical, a special cinematic performance that will be exclusively presented via the premium global social live media platform Moment House on May 1 and May 2 (depending on territory). 

The experience will see him performing songs from the brand-new album, as well as music spanning his complete catalogue within an immersive visual environment that’s directly inspired by Ramona Park Broke My Heart. Tickets go on sale today at 11am ET at momenthouse.com/vincestaples. 

Ahead of the album’s release, Staples gave fans an early preview of the project sharing the first two singles off the LP -- MAGIC and ROSE STREET.   Of the Mustard-produced MAGIC, we are treated to Staple’s laidback flow and authenticity that he is known for and what seperates him from everyone else at the moment. The second single, ROSE STREET, Staples styles over the typical West Coast sound providing a heavy dose of nostalgia. The track was produced by Tommy Parker and SAINT Mino.

Ramona Park Broke My Heart follows Staples’ 2021 critically acclaimed self-titled LP that welcomed fans to his hometown (the Ramona Park neighborhood of Long Beach, CA) in addition to introducing personal friends and family.  

The album itself is made up of 16 tracks, and features the likes of Lil Baby and Ty Dolla Sign as well. It’s a mourning of Vince’s lost childhood and the childhood of the people who have gone through the trauma he has. This is explored through using the sounds of his childhood, and the rejection of the LA gangster culture

Staples is currently on his run as supporting act on Tyler, the Creator’s 34-date North American Call Me If You Get Lost tour, which also features Kali Uchis and Teezo Touchdown. The celebrated rapper will also return to Coachella on April 17th and 24th where he’ll perform songs spanning his innovative catalog including music from the new album.

Most recently, Staples completed his debut graphic novel: Limbo Beach via Z2 Comics. Co-written by industry vets Bryan Edward Hill (Batman & the Outsiders; Titans), Chris Robinson (Children of the Atom), and Buster Moody (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), it follows the journey of the newest member of the Wunderlosts, a band of misfit teenage raiders, on a journey to discover the truth about the park—and himself—in a tale that is equal parts Lord of the Flies and The Warrior.
