American hip-hop star Vince Staples is heading to New Zealand in December to perform in Auckland and Wellington.

The Los Angeles rapper earned critical acclaim with his debut album Summertime '06 and impressed Kiwi fans at Laneway Festival this year.

Staples has headlined his own US tour and will be performing here in support of his Prima Donna EP.

The six-track release features production from No I.D., DJ Dahi and James Blake, and includes a powerful track about guilt and depression, 'Smile'.

Staples will perform at Wellington's San Fran on December 6, and at Auckland's Powerstation on December 7.

General tickets go on sale Thursday, October 6.
