[Video] Inside The Beat: Earl Sweatshirt & Vince Staples

The good folks over at Noisey got together with Earl Sweatshirt and Vince Staples for the first episode of their "Inside The Beat" series. Surprisingly this has very little to do with producing and serves more as insight into Earl and mostly Vince's recording habits and personal feelings on music. Excellent cinematography.

[Video] Tyler, The Creator - WOLF Anniversary Show

Tyler, The Creator gives a brief look at what went down during WOLF's anniversary show. Man...it's crazy to think it has been a year since this album dropped I remember the day I heard it vividly. Anyway be sure to grab it if you haven't yet it is definitely worth it.

Earl Sweatshirt - Nebraska ft Mac Miller & Vince Staples

Earl Sweatshirt took to Twitter earlier today to release two previously unheard tracks dating far back as 2012. The first "Nebraska" features good friends in Mac Miller and Vince Staples, the second is a solo cut featuring a interesting production choice compared to Earl's norm. S/O to you if you know the video SS screenshoted for the cover art. 

[Video] Nardwuar vs.Earl Sweatshirt & Syd The Kyd

The Human Serviette does what he does best and comes with the facts and gifts for Odd Future's Earl Sweatshirt and Syd The Kyd of The Internet. It's interesting seeing how Earl doesn't remember the story about his pants because I know exactly what Nardwuar is talking about. So either Earl lied when he posted that story (which has since been deleted) long ago in his Sly Tendencies BlogSpot days or he truly doesn't remember. Hmm...

Odd Future - Look (prod. Nottz)

Odd Future's Tyler, The Creator, Hodgy Beats, Domo Genesis and Earl Sweatshirt black out over some Nottz production. No word on if this is just a throwaway or from a upcoming project. I want more OF tracks like this and "Oldie".

Captain Murphy - Between Villains ft Viktor Vaughn, Earl Sweatshirt & Thundercat

Adult Swim singles program introduced us to Captain Murphy last year with "Between Friends" and instantly people wanted to know who he was. A year later and identity reveled Murphy is back with "Between Villains" the spiritual successor to his previous effort with Sweatshirt, but this time around he brings along a couple more friends villains. Viktor Vaughn (DOOM) and fellow Brianfeeder label mate Thundercat. 

[Video] Earl Sweatshirt - Hive ft Casey Veggies & Vince Staples

In his latest video Earl Sweatshirt takes us for a trip through a dark and desolate cul-de-sac (imagine Ed, Edd & Eddie on an Acid trip). "Hive" is reminiscent of that grunge/grime sound that catapulted Earl and OF into fame way back in 2010. With Casey handling the hook, Earl and Vince give you the narration for the creepy visuals. Doris available August 20th.

[Video] Earl Sweatshirt At Coachella

Earl Sweatshirt made his Coachella debut in a rather awkward fashion this weekend. While Earl's performance was good the crowd seemed lackadaisical, which is ironic considering that is the same criticism Earl often receives, but he worked through it to put on a nice performance. Mid way through Domo Genesis and Vince Staples show up for their respective tracks from Earl's upcoming album Doris. I was definitely feeling the new material, especially "Hive" which features Vince Staples who absolutely bodies his verse. Of course Tyler, The Creator came out and along with Earl performed some OF classics, this would've truly been a memorable Coachella debut if it weren't for the crowd props to Tyler for calling them out on it though. Anyway it's a enjoyable set for any OF fan and a definite must watch for the new Doris tracks.

Earl Sweatshirt - Chum

Odd Future's Earl Sweatshirt has been relatively quiet since coming home, only dropping one solo track aptly named "Home" and a few guest appearances. A lot of mysterious still surrounds the young rapper with many fans not to sure in which direction his new music will be going. What we do know is that, gone is the rapper you heard on Earl and earlier Odd Future projects. Also at the same time a lot remains the same from those days.

Earl's second released track since coming home "Chum" is the perfect example of what I was speaking on above. Earl has matured past the subjects of murder, rape and 666 to personal subjects that we've heard him speak on in the past, but more so as a child would handle it. Earl manages to keep that dark sound that his is known for and still evolve into something that he wasn't before. A mature emcee who is able to tell a story of truth and truly put his life into lyrics. I have a feeling that "Chum" is just the beginning for young Earl and that we'll get the full effect of his new found skills when he drops his project hopefully sometime this year.

Flying Lotus - Between Friends ft Earl Sweatshirt & Captain Murphy

The latest drop in the Adult Swim singles series features a collaboration between friends Flying Lotus, Earl Sweatshirt and Captain Murphy. The weird mixing of the vocals aside, this isn't that bad of a track especially for a Adult Swim drop.

Earl Sweatshirt - Home

Stream: Home

The first track from the recently freed Earl Sweatshirt. I don't know what to think it sounds legit, I hope this isn't some elaborate joke by Tyler. Anyway while it's not the production your used to hearing from Earl, the skills are still there somewhat. Welcome home Earl.
