WHAT IT IS: Long Beach rapper debuted his seven-song EP, Hell Can Wait, late last year. Its release followed his three-week, 13-city Paisley Summer Tour. Vince has contributed tracks to dozens of today’s hottest artists. With Hell Can Wait, he turned the microscope on himself and his family, with remarkable results. “Ain’t nothing realer than the truth,” he explains. “Ain’t nothing better than the truth, like I really did all that, I really seen all that. I really been around that my whole life.”
