Vince Staples responds to the current uneasiness between law enforcement and young black teens with his new single "Hands Up." The dark and brooding instrumental serves as the backdrop for Vince to display his skillful delivery. He touches on a number of relevant topics that plague the negative view of police in the inner city, including racial profiling and wrongful arrests, expanding his knowledge of historical influences with lines like "This is all a part of Huey P and Bobby prediction, making profit off of violence they arousing attention."
