Earl Sweatshirt Goes Full Cam’ron On “45”

Earl Sweatshirt's latest is essential. Sweat struts over a drumless Alchemist chop, bars within bars. It clocks in at 1:15, not counting how long you'll leave it on repeat. After hearing Domo Genesis go crazy on "STRICTLY4MYNIGGAZ," we were already sure the Odd Future camp would be delivering some strong verses for the 2015, sounding older, sharper, and somehow hungrier. But on "45," Earl raises the bar even higher. Angel City drought time, why the fuck I'm up 50 playing like I'm down 5? They can't really fuck with me, he promises, like he just cut off Cam'ron's "Get Em Girls" and sprinted into the booth while it was still fresh. Bump above.
