#SXSW Vince Staples | Sway In The Morning
Vince Staples holds the west coast down while at SXSW this past week in Austin Texas. The Long Beach rapper explains the segregation of the area and how each direction has different races. Staples is currently traveling with ScHoolBoy Q for the Oxymoron tour, and thinks that Q deserves everything he's getting. Vince isn't swayed by rappers "drug dealing" stories and says "don't send someone else to jail with your music. Before freestyling over B.o.B.'s hit ft. Future "Ready", he shares some of the most valuable advice he has received which was from friend Mac Miller.
