Having kept himself busy with features and the occasional standalone single these last few years, Earl Sweatshirt has now announced his plans for a new studio album, arriving next week.
The new full-length 'Some Rap Songs' follows on from his 2015 LP ‘I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside’, is being previewed by the Navy Blue collaboration 'The Mint', and is set to arrive digitally on the 30th November via Tan Cressida/Columbia Records, with a physical release expected in January.
Inspired by the death of his father, the rapper said of the new release, “Me and my dad had a relationship that’s not uncommon for people to have with their fathers, which is a non-perfect one. Talking to him is symbolic and non-symbolic, but it’s literally closure for my childhood. Not getting to have that moment left me to figure out a lot with my damn self.”
