So, who is Earl Sweatshirt? Well, let me paint you a picture. Picture a young man with lyrical prowess beyond his years, spitting rhymes that speak to the human condition in all its complex beauty and hardship - that's Earl Sweatshirt for you folks. Excuse my rambling but music does stir one's soul doesn’t it?

Born Thebe Neruda Kgositsile on February 24th 1994, this American rapper and record producer first graced the hip-hop scene as part of the LA based rap group Odd Future. Critics burst into accolades over his debut mixtape 'Earl', didn't they? They hailed him as a prodigious talent to watch out for.

Life hasn’t always been generous though – after releasing his debut at just sixteen, our guy went MIA. He attended a boarding school in Samoa until he was eighteen - minor bump or growth opportunity? Depends on how you look at it. Back from Samoa and diving headfirst into producing amazing albums like 'Doris' (2013), 'I Don’t Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside' (2015) and ‘Some Rap Songs’ (2018). What’s common between these records aside from chartbusting numbers? Reflections of personal turmoil echoed wonderfully through lyrics dense with melancholy- even Freud would find them intriguing! Oh wait! Did we mention his collaborations with stunning talents like Tyler The Creator or Frank Ocean? All adding extra threads to this dynamic tapestry of sound. Curious about what themes he delves into typically? Mental health issues such as anxiety & depression are big topics for our lad here; threading words together masterfully to create pictures so vivid, they almost become personified entities themselves! He certainly did throw fans off balance by dropping ‘Feet Of Clay" EP unannounced in November last year. Did disruption ever result in such delight though? Wouldn’t say life handed Earl an easy deck but hey! A songbird often sounds sweetest when weathering storms right? Start listening yet?
