A year after his last album, ‘Some Rap Songs‘, Earl Sweatshirt drops a new seven track project in the form of ‘Feet of Clay.’ Largely self-produced, the album features Haiti’s Mach-Hommy, emerging phenom Mavi, and comes with additional production from Alchemist and Ovrkast. Feet of Clay arrives just one year after the release of Earl’s…
Soundtracked by his new album ‘Some Rap Songs,’ Earl Sweatshirt releases a new short film entitled ‘Nowhere, Nobody.’ Directed by Naima Ramos-Chapman and Terence Nance, the film is an art-house flick that’s as experimental as the album itself; seemingly exploring themes of black identity and fatherhood, paying homage to his late father, South African poet…
2018 has been another stellar year for music; we’ve had the slew of releases from G.O.O.D. Music that bought us ‘Kids See Ghosts’, ‘Ye’ and ‘DAYTONA’, as well as big releases from some of our favourite Brits like Wiley, Young Fathers and Novelist. It’s also been a year tinged by sadness as we say an…
Earl Sweatshirt’s third album is possibly even more inaccessible than his second. Tracks just sputter into existence unannounced; no intro, often not even a pause after the last. Earl’s vocal sometimes sits so low in the mix its barely audible among the lilting, lo-fi beats. But it’s all intentional, Earl barely lets you in to…
Earl Sweatshirt fans rejoiced earlier this month on the release of his first new song since 2015 album ‘I Don’t Like Shit…‘, ‘Nowhere2go.’ Now, with the release of a second track entitled ‘The MInt’, it emerges that speculation that an LP was on the way was well-founded. ‘The Mint’ features a guest appearance from Navy…

It’s been over three years since ‘I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside‘, but Earl Sweatshirt is back with a new track entitled ‘Nowhere2go’. Excitement [well, ours at least!] reached fever pitch when mysterious teaser videos began to surface on Instagram. Speculation was rife that an album was sure to follow, but for now…
Danny Brown says of new album ‘Atrocity Exhibition’ that it’s the album he’s always been trying to make. Now that it’s out – we’re so glad he finally has. Named after a Joy Division track on which Ian Curtis brands Fame a freak show, the album is every bit as dark and bitter. Brown’s unhinged…
Danny Brown’s follows ‘When It Rain‘ and ‘Pneumonia‘ with a third track from ‘Atrocity Exhibition’ [September 30]. Not only is the track brilliantly sinister, but it also features Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul and Earl Sweatshirt. “Me and Kendrick always talked about doing stuff, and I had the idea to get K-Dot and Earl together… but first I got me…
Although the track eventually found a home on Samiyam’s ‘Animals Have Feelings‘, Early Sweatshirt initially uploaded ‘Mirror‘ as a loosie on SoundCloud. Three months on from the release of the project, and the producer recruits animator Ruff Mercy [see also Run The Jewel’s ‘Lie, Cheat, Steal‘, Wiley’s ‘Flying‘ and ‘Old English‘ by Young Thug, Freddie Gibbs &…
