Vince Staples Taps Mustard For “Magic”

Magic

Vince Staples

RGM RATING (????????)


Vince Staples and Mustard is a one-two punch that is deadly.

I made a huge mistake in my end-of-the-year post. Vince Staples’ self-titled album from last year should’ve won the most slept on project. In my opinion, Vince and Kenny Beats were in a pocket on that album that was amazing. Today, Vince decided to drop “Magic,” a brand new track that is produced by yet another amazing beatmaker in Mustard.



Mustard brings out the Tyga in Vince Staples in “Magic.” Over a beat that sounds too chill for its own good, the California rapper hits us with smooth bars that indicate that he’s currently high, rich, an anti-snitch, and a playa all at the same time. Though the song sounds somewhat sluggish, I think it’s good enough to extend Vince’s winning streak.

As I think about it, I don’t think I’ve ever heard a Vince Staples song in the club. Damn, DJs are trippin’!

Worst Christmas Ever! is a solid example of Sufjan Stevens’s Christmas music. He’s able to take existing pieces and give them interesting, dynamic spins while still keeping the charm, nostalgia, and message of the original works. His own original songs are also very good, especially “Sister Winter.” I like the structure that is rarely deviated from: Christmas classic, Sufjan original, etc.
