The 13-track collection, which is the rapper and singer’s sixth full-length studio album, is described as “a muscular and revelatory work refining elements that have been present in his catalog for the last decade: dense lyricism over lush, layered beats; wry, melancholic observations about life; finding pockets of light in an endless dark.”

According to Staples, “Shame on the Devil” is a “personal achievement. it’s me mastering some things I’ve tried before that I wasn’t great at in the beginning. It’s a testament to musical growth, song structure – all the good stuff.”

The album was recorded over seven months in North Hollywood.
