"Tulsa, OK" by Vince Staples is a previously vinyl-exclusive cut from his new album "Cry Baby" that is now on all streaming platforms.

Vince Staples offered his most polarizing yet impactful work with his new album Cry Baby, and he had even more heat to share with fans. "Tulsa, OK," a previously vinyl-exclusive single, is now on all streaming platforms. It continues the sociopolitically-charged themes of the LP, referencing a white mob's destruction of a thriving Black neighborhood in 1921 and calling for direct action against white supremacy. Vince's performance on here is passionate and sharp, whereas haunting synth tones clash well with the nasty bass and guitars we got on Cry Baby. Even after such a powerful record, "Tulsa, OK" stands as an essential piece of the overall full-length, and one you shouldn't miss.

Release Date: October 9, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop / Rock

Album: Cry Baby

Quotable Lyrics from Tulsa, OK

All that barking, who gon' bite?
All that marching, who gon' fight?
Talking 'bout, "Massa, please,"
If it's a race war, where they casualties?

Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Gabriel treasures the crossover between his native reggaetón and hip-hop news coverage, such as his review for Bad Bunny’s hometown concert in 2024. But more specifically, he digs for the deeper side of hip-hop conversations, whether that’s the “death” of the genre in 2023, the lyrical and parasocial intricacies of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle, or the many moving parts of the Young Thug and YSL RICO case. Beyond engaging and breaking news coverage, Gabriel makes the most out of his concert obsessions, reviewing and recapping festivals like Rolling Loud Miami and Camp Flog Gnaw. He’s also developed a strong editorial voice through album reviews, think-pieces, and interviews with some of the genre’s brightest upstarts and most enduring obscured gems like Homeboy Sandman, Bktherula, Bas, and Devin Malik.
