Aug 30, 2016A concept album that where the sounds live up to the ideas, Vince employs James Blake, No ID, DJ Dahi, A$AP Rocky, and an Andre 3000 sample for an A+ effort. Chopped and Screwed by James Blake, War Ready is one of the most interesting production I've heard on a hip hop album this year. Vince shines on Pimp Hand, solidifying his flow as one of the best in the game.

Aug 30, 2016Vince Staples does it again, this time in a short EP, in my opinion I wish this would have been an entire album! I like how he keeps his fans satisfied in the meantime while we all wait for the follow-up to Summertime 06'. The production on this EP is amazing with tight lyrics with good rhymes. Another great piece of work Mr. Staples. KEEP IT UP!

Sep 1, 2016With amazing production and haunting lyrics, Vince Staples continues his hot streak that started back in 2014 with the critically acclaimed Hell Can Wait EP. Everything since from the Long Beach rapper has been heavily polished, politically and socially aware, harrowing and gripping at the same time. This project is no exception.

Nov 29, 2016Excellent lyricism on level with Kendrick. Clever, meaningful and creative. Compelling and moving content reflective of life, death, and the struggles in between.

Overall I'd say my summary for this album comes down to two words: Pretty Dope. The last 3 songs, "Prima Donna", "Pimp Hand" and "Big Time" really ride. -
Dec 31, 2020This EP moving me, for the first time into the world of Vince Staples. The first listening was absolutely crazy, a mixing of electronic and hip-hop, wow. The production is crazy, with James Blake on fire. Vince Staples lyrics are good, and flow is yes. It is not easy to listen this project, due to his rough electronic nature, but is a lot interesting.

Dec 12, 2016Prima Donna is an essential snapshot of 2016 that bears witness to the evolution of an artist coming into his own with an unflinching, socially conscious perspective.

The WireNov 8, 2016The production, courtesy of DJ Dahi, No ID and James Blake, spirals outward from the world this Long Beach native’s peers inhabit and into satisfyingly experimental territory. [Oct 2016, p.65]

Sep 21, 2016Prima Donna bristles with paranoia, anxiety, depression and anger about racism, violence, the music industry and his own psychological state. Loco distills all that. Staples's vicious, suicidal fever dream sees him alluding to Van Gogh's mental illness and dropping references to The Great Gatsby and James Joyce.
