Who comes out of the gate with a double album? Long Beach’s own Vince Staples that’s who dropping his upcoming album, Summertime ’06, which is set to be a 2-disc project. Staples says this is to make the 20-song track-list easier on listeners’ ears.

“Twenty songs straight back-to-back would be kind of hard, just to do things conceptually,” he says. “It helps break down stuff more and it’s easier for people, ’cause it’s a lot of music out here and it’s coming fast. So the more your music is able to be digested by the fans, the better it is.”

He told HipHopDX.

NPR debuted the stream of the album Summertime ’06, comes out June 30.
