The A Walk Through Ramona Park livestream is just the latest event from the ever-prolific Vince Staples. Last year, he released Ramona Park Broke My Heart, a critically acclaimed tribute to the Ramona Park neighborhood in Long Beach where he grew up. Of the Mustard-produced “Magic,” Rolling Stone said, “it’s everything we love about the artist who always finds a way to differentiate himself from the pack by delivering honest rhymes with a laidback flow,” with Billboard calling the “bouncy” track a “teamup between two of West Coast hip-hop’s finest.” Of the second single, “Rose Street,” Consequence said, “Staples glides over the West Coast bounce created by producers Tommy Parker and SAINT MINO,” with Highsnobiety adding “if this track is any indication of what’s to come, Staples has another shining body of work on his hands.”

Ramona Park Broke My Heart follows Staples’ 2021 critically acclaimed self-titled LP that welcomed fans to his hometown (the Ramona Park neighborhood of Long Beach, CA) in addition to introducing personal friends and family. Entirely produced by Kenny Beats, Rolling Stone praised Staples’ for his “brilliantly concise songwriting” and “knack for combining brevity and sly wordplay,”while Pitchfork called Staples and Beats “unstoppable forces” saying, “there’s fire to be found even in the duo’s quietest moments.” The project was hailed as one of the best albums of 2021 by The Los Angeles TimesBillboardNPR MusicTIME, NMEComplex, and The FADER among others.
