Cry Baby (Photobooth Edition 027)

This AOTY edition companion release accompanies Cry Baby by Vince Staples, number 15 in Rough Trade's Albums of the Year 2026.

Vince Staples is one of the most revered voices of his generation. Though he's a celebrated multi-hyphenate, making an impact in TV, film and contemporary culture, music is where he most naturally pushes boundaries as an artist, storyteller and creative force. Following a string of acclaimed introspective projects, Ramona Park (a melancholic tribute to his hometown) and Dark Times (deeper, more personal themes), Cry Baby is a more outwardly facing artistic statement and piece of social commentary.
