American rapper Earl Sweatshirt got his start as a teenager (at the age of 15!) with Odd Future, a hip-hop collective led by Tyler, The Creator. His debut mixtape Earl, released in 2010, made an immediate impression thanks to his raw, unpolished style and complex lyrics. After a quiet spell, he dropped several more albums such as Doris, I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside, Some Rap Songs, …
His lyrics are pure, uncensored poetry about life in big-city Chicago. He works there with Frank Ocean and Danny Brown and can count RZA and The Neptunes among his fan club. Despite his young age, he has already had a significant impact and continues to evolve as an artist. Earl Sweatshirt is always looking for new ways to express his creative vision. As evidenced by his most recent album VOIR DIRE, a collaboration between Earl and legendary producer The Alchemist. The album is a delicious fusion of soul samples and Earl’s lyrical profundity.
Whether you’re a seasoned fan of his music or only just discovered it, YOU GOTTA LIKE HIS SHIT SO BETTER COME OUTSIDE!
