Vince Staples has been making waves lately as an artist to watch out for. Vince was also just named once of
XXL's 2015 Freshman Class alongside
Goldlink,
Fetty Wap,
Raury, and
Tink, If you're feeling the lyrics in "Ghost", check out one of Vince's newest releases "
Norf Norf", from his newest album "
Summertime 06'".
"Ghost" starts off with some addictive electronic beats that get you wondering how exactly Vince is going to tackle this. Before long, a confident Vince jumps in with his raw lyrics that sit on the production perfectly. The track likes to alternate the focus from the production to the lyrics quite often, and does it in such a harmonious way that it's easy to forget these worlds of music are far from alike.
This track is a perfect representation of With You.'s mission, to combine influences from different times, scenes, and genres, to create something previously unheard. The combining of worlds is very apparent here, which is one of the reasons the seemingly perfect match up of sound may surprise the listener at the beginning, but by the end turns into something familiar, yet not at all.
