A satellite to the Odd Future crew, Vince Staples came up through OFWGKTA members Earl Sweatshirt and Mike G’s mixtapes, notably the former’s breakthrough collection Earl in 2010. His own Stolen Youth mixtape, a collab with Mac Miller, burnished his own name, and then his proper debut Summertime ‘06 via Def Jam, with its cover being a take on Joy Division’s classic Unknown Pleasures. As the young Vince was a fan of the New Order precursor, this show at the O2 Ritz should resonate.
