12 Things You Should Be Listening To Right Now!

5. Earl Sweatshirt

rap/hip hop/alternative rap Everyone€™s probably already more than familiar with Odd Future and the majority of its members. However, there€™s one member, and perhaps the most talented, that€™s yet to have his time to shine, and that member is Earl Sweatshirt. Whilst many will be familiar with him from the whole €˜Free Earl€™ campaign that Odd Future ran after his mother sent him to Samoa to attend a therapeutic centre for at risk boys €“ on account of his behaviour. Infamy aside, many won€™t be familiar with his musical output; his brilliant, and free, debut album Earl was released back in 2010. Sporting a cartoonishly grotesque lyrical content that can be as graphic as it is offensive, Earl can also boast the best flow of any of Odd Future peers, Tyler included, and a knack for a creative wordplay in his lyrics that shows early Eminem as a clear influence. His sophomore effort Doris is due to be released this year and is likely to put Earl in the spotlight. http://youtu.be/FCbWLSZrZfw
