Release Notes: ░██▓
██▒
If the cover art of Summertime Æ06, the first proper album ██░
from the Long Beach rapper Vince Staples, looks familiar to ██
you, thatÆs not an accident. That Summertime Æ06 cover is, ██
of course, the cover of Joy DivisionÆs Unknown Pleasures, ██
tweaked just slightly in that it now recalls ocean waves ██
rather than wavforms or mountains. And itÆs not a case of ██
some Def Jam graphic designer getting cute. In the Instagram ██
post that he used to unveil the albumÆs cover, Staples wrote ██
a short essay that starts with the sentence ôLove will tear ██
us apart.ö Staples wasnÆt writing about the song. Instead, ██
he was writing about the albumÆs title, and its themes. 2006 ██
was when Staples was 13, the moment he believes his ██
innocence went kablooey. And the album is about how the ██
things that we love the most can be our undoing: ôLove tore ██
us all apart. Love for self, love for separation, love for ██
the little we all had, love for each other, where we came ██
fromà Summer of 2006, the beginning of the end of everything ██
I though I knew. Youth was stolen from my city that Summer ██
and Im left alone to tell the story. This might not make ██
sense but thatÆs because none of it does, weÆre stuck. Love ██
tore us all apart. Summertime Æ06, June 30th.ö Summertime ██
Æ06 is a concept album, and itÆs one without a clear ██
narrative. WeÆre not following one young California kid on ██
his path to somewhere else, the way we are in Kendrick ██
LamarÆs Good Kid, m.A.A.d. City or YGÆs My Krazy Life. ██
Instead, weÆre hearing a young California kid reflecting on ██
all the ways that he feels heÆs still stuck. Staples is a ██
successful young rapper with a major-label contract, but ██
that kid is still him. Summertime Æ06 is an album about the ██
weight of trauma, about the feeling that you canÆt escape ██
the darkness that made you. And even if StaplesÆ context and ██
specific darkness are different from what Ian Curtis was ██
singing about, thereÆs a certain commonality there. These ██
are two young musicians (Staples is 21, a year younger than ██
Curtis was when Unknown Pleasures came out) trapped in their ██
own mind-hells, two brilliant minds who sound dead inside. ██
██
Summertime Æ06 also has its own Martin Hannett, a musical ██
visionary who knows how to strip sounds away until only a ██
cavernous, bone-tingling thump remains. In another lifetime, ██
the Chicago producer No I.D. helped bring melodic, soulful ██
warmth to midwest rap. He produced just about all of Common ██
SenseÆs 1994 masterpiece Resurrection, and he worked as ██
mentor to a young Kanye West. But No I.D. is working with ██
other sounds now, and there is no warmth to be heard on ██
Summertime Æ06. No I.D. didnÆt produce all of the album; ██
other people, like DJ Dahi and Clams Casino, chip in. But he ██
produced more of it than anyone else, and his fingerprints ██
are all over even the tracks he didnÆt produce. On this ██
album, No I.D.Æs sound is a dry, flat boom: Clipped and ██
minimal drums sounds, glimmers of melody from distorted ██
electric guitars or wobbly synths, absolutely nothing thatÆs ██
there to sweeten things up. ThereÆs a lot of cold, spartan ██
minimalism in rap music right now, and the sound of ██
Summertime Æ06 isnÆt that far removed from, say, the sound ██
of the new Tyga album. But No I.D. is willing to get deeper ██
and darker and meaner than his peers, and the sound of ██
Summertime Æ06 is just mercilessly empty. Even ôSe±orita,ö ██
the single, isnÆt much more than a needling piano, some ██
metronomic drum programming, and a tourettic Future sample ██
on the hook. Summertime Æ06 sounds magnificent, its ██
meticulously arranged noises sharp and crystalline and its ██
bass thick enough to give your dashboard the tremors. But ██
when you drive around playing it loud, you might feel like ██
youÆre alone in the world. ██
██
For all its iciness, though, the album moves. Part of that ██
is because No I.D. and the other producers know how to give ██
these dank sounds a sense of momentum. But another huge part ██
of it is Staples. Staples is a total master at putting words ██
together and making them sound good. That was the case when ██
he was rapping on his friend Earl SweatshirtÆs songs at a ██
16-year-old: ôYouÆre Fantasia and the body bagÆs a fucking ██
book.ö And itÆs even more the case now, when heÆs more ██
thoughtful and introspective than the kid we heard on those ██
tracks. His voice is a flat, affectless mutter, but he uses ██
it with confidence and charisma. HeÆs a completely focused ██
rapper, so blank and allergic to exaggeration that he forces ██
you to pay attention to the things heÆs saying, and so ██
gifted, as a writer, that the things heÆs saying actually ██
matter. Sometimes, thatÆs simply a matter of fitting ██
together words in ways that sound great together: ôFrom the ██
city where the skinny carry strong heat.ö Sometimes, itÆs ██
about switching up cadences so effortlessly and ██
conversationally that you donÆt quite recognize that heÆs ██
doing it until your seventh time listening. And sometimes, ██
itÆs because an offhand line is so smart and poignant that ██
you canÆt help but get stuck on it. There are a few guest ██
rappers on Summertime Æ06: A$ton Matthews, Kilo Kish, ██
spoken-word guy Haneef Talib. But their voices never get a ██
chance to dominate. The most famous guest on the album is ██
JhenΘ Aiko, and mostly all she does is mutter sleepily along ██
with StaplesÆ lyrics on ôLemme Know.ö On a lot of major- ██
label rap albums, you get the impression that the artistÆs ██
voice is one of many that shaped the thing. On Summertime ██
Æ06, Staples gets the chance to dominate completely. ██
██
And he gets the space to really get into some shit. ██
Throughout the album, he brings up, again and again, the ██
worry that the kids who listen to his album canÆt possibly ██
relate to him. The stunning ôSe±oritaö video is an image of ██
working-class minorities attempting to find some form of ██
strength in a comic-book ghetto apocalypse, and it ends with ██
the camera pulling back to reveal a smiling white family ██
watching them in a museum window. That image is deep in ██
StaplesÆ mind: ôI done seen my homies die then went on rides ██
to kill æem back / So how you say you feel me when you never ██
had to go through that?ö Even though itÆs just an hour long, ██
the album is structured as a 20-track double-LP. On the ██
first half, Staples is talking street shit in some ██
recognizable ways and stressing about losing himself to love ██
or to sex: ôA soldier since the stroller,ö that kind of ██
thing. HeÆs great at that stuff, but he never takes audible ██
joy in it. And halfway through, the albumÆs sound switches ██
up a bit and gets softer and dreamier. When that happens, ██
Staples looks at his upbringing with a bit more distance and ██
sees terrifying things: ôWe gentrified, we victimized, we ██
fighting for survival / No hopes and dreams, just leave us ██
be, we leaning on the bible / They preying on is, praying ██
for a better day tomorrow / Hide the fear behind this here ██
bravado.ö He doesnÆt see a way out. All he sees are ██
structures of power looking to keep him, and everyone like ██
him, in check. ██
██
In the past few years, weÆve heard similarly ambitious, ██
expansive albums about what itÆs like to be young and black ██
and poor in a systemically white-supremacist society. But ██
those albums have, by and large, suggested some form of ██
redemption, or at least comfort. On Good Kid, m.A.A.d City, ██
religion was salvation. On My Krazy Life, it was friendship: ██
Even if you couldnÆt count on everyone, and even if jail is ██
waiting for you, you can know that your whole squad is going ██
through the same things that you are. But Summertime Æ06 ██
suggests and imagines no way out. ôWe look at them, we see ██
somebody who could help,ö Staples muses on a spoken-word ██
interlude during the penultimate track ôLike It Is.ö ôBut ██
they look at us, and all they see is a nigga. It donÆt ██
really matter, anyway. We all gonÆ die one day, man.ö One ██
song later, Staples is getting into what threatens to become ██
the catchiest song on the album. 48 seconds in, heÆs in the ██
middle of a line about how heÆs going to bring his whole ██
gang with him when he gets on. Mid-sentence, mid-word, a ██
burst of white interrupts him, and the album suddenly ends. ██
ThatÆs all you get. ██
██
Summertime Æ06 is out now on Blacksmith/Artium/Def Jam. ██
