Earl Sweatshirt reveals features on new album | Music News
More often than not, Earl Sweatshirt‘s Twitter page is filled with random rants and late night thoughts. Like how the rest of us use it, really. But yesterday (August 12th), the acclaimed Odd Future lyricist shared some very welcome news regarding his hugely-anticipated upcoming album, by announcing a number of the guest features.
Over a series of tweets, Earl revealed that his Golf Wang brethren Tyler, The Creator, Frank Ocean, Domo Genesis and The Internet will all make appearances, while Pharrell, The Neptunes, The Alchemist, Casey Veggies, BADBADNOTGOOD, Vince Staples, Thundercat, Christian Rich, Ommas Keith and Samiyam will also contribute to his record, which he consciously kept the title of hidden (thank Michael Uzowuru for that later).

While both the title and release date for Earl’s album are unknown, I think we can agree that he has one helluva supporting cast lined up. Odd Future sub-group, The Super 3, a.k.a. Matt Martians and Hal Williams, are inclined to agree, who recently shared their opinion on young Sweatshirt’s record upon an early listen. We’ll have to wait and see if they are proven correct.
thebe made one of my favorite rap albums ever. just off one listen. so proud of him man. geez
