for hip-hop. With recent projects from Earl Sweatshirt x MIKE x SURF GANG and Yeat, and imminent releases from Isaiah Rashad, Drake, and now Vince Staples. Over the weekend, Staples shared his long-awaited return to the scene with his first single in almost two years, \u201cBlackberry Marmalade.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>About two weeks ago, the rapper sent out an email blast to fans updating them on his new private Discord server, creating the channel as a way to \u201cimprove the fan experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t share too much else in that initial message, aside from the ominous: \u201cStay tuned, because there will be both hijinks and shenanigans\u2026. I will be back sooner than you think.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>And indeed he was, when Saturday morning, Staples took to Instagram to share his first-ever studio single since he dropped\u00a0<em>Dark Times\u00a0<\/em>in May of 2024. Still not yet on streaming services, \u201cBlackberry Marmalade\u201d harkens back to Staples\u2019 old sound, leaning into a guitar-heavy beat, and premiered alongside a striking Bradley J. Calder-co-directed music video.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qdcD99Pd0oo?si=GiBFwfkxoa3UjjHT\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Staples leads the first-person-shooter-style visual, which takes the POV of a faceless mass shooter, with the rapper attempting to escape the scene.

for hip-hop. With recent projects from Earl Sweatshirt x MIKE x SURF GANG and Yeat, and imminent releases from Isaiah Rashad, Drake, and now Vince Staples. Over the weekend, Staples shared his long-awaited return to the scene with his first single in almost two years, \u201cBlackberry Marmalade.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>About two weeks ago, the rapper sent out an email blast to fans updating them on his new private Discord server, creating the channel as a way to \u201cimprove the fan experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t share too much else in that initial message, aside from the ominous: \u201cStay tuned, because there will be both hijinks and shenanigans\u2026. I will be back sooner than you think.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>And indeed he was, when Saturday morning, Staples took to Instagram to share his first-ever studio single since he dropped\u00a0<em>Dark Times\u00a0<\/em>in May of 2024. Still not yet on streaming services, \u201cBlackberry Marmalade\u201d harkens back to Staples\u2019 old sound, leaning into a guitar-heavy beat, and premiered alongside a striking Bradley J.
