The Long Beach-based and Def Jam-signed rapper Vince Staples can be seen with pretty much everyone these days, from Mac Miller to Ab-Soul and then some. So of course, like everyone else in the universe is music (who matters), Staples was in Austin last week for SXSW 2014. 

So we had to have him by The COMPLEX Complex, where he dropped in with Complex News to discuss the formation of his music, what's next with his career, and what NO ID, 50 Cent, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas have to do with all of it. Check the video above, and keep to tuned to Complex TV as we roll out the rest of our exclusive interviews from this year in Austin.
