Earl Sweatshirt - FEET OF CLAY (Deluxe) '2020

Tracks list

Known for a creatively languid style that has swung lyrically from highly
personal alt-rap to morbid horrorcore, Earl Sweatshirt helped launch Odd Future
into hip-hop prominence around the turn of the 2010s and has since remained
among the most unique rapper/producers around. Since making his solo debut with
the acclaimed mixtape Earl (2010), his first two albums, Doris (2013) and the
seriously (and descriptively) titled I Dont Like Shit, I Dont Go Outside (2015),
have placed in the upper reaches of the Billboard 200 chart. By the time he
released his third album, Some Rap Songs (2018), Earl had either produced or
appeared on tracks by most of the Odd Future affiliates, including Tyler, The
Creator and Frank Ocean, as well as similarly left-field artists such as Danny
Brown and Denmark Vessey.

Born Thebe Kgositsile in Chicago, Illinois, Earl Sweatshirt was known as Sly
Tendencies until 2009, the year the Los Angeles-based rapper and producer was
invited by Tyler, The Creator to join Odd Future. In March 2010, at the age of
16, he debuted with Earl, a mixtape that garnered critical acclaim, but he was
subsequently sent to a Samoan boarding school by his mother. Upon his 2012
return to L.A., determined to build on the success of the tape, he eased himself
back into the scene with a number of collaborations, most notably appearances on
Odd Futures The OF Tape, Vol. 2 and Frank Oceans Grammy-winning Channel Orange.
Earl ultimately signed a solo deal with Columbia, enabling him to issue material
on the major label through the vanity imprint Tan Cressida, and in November
2012, he initiated the long-term affiliation with the single Chum. Whoa and
Hive, the former of which became Earls first charting solo track -- peaking on
Billboards Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart at number 46 -- led to the August 2013 release
of Doris. Enhanced with input from numerous OF associates and the likes of the
Neptunes, Frank Ocean, and the RZA -- although Earl also produced much of the
set -- the album entered the Billboard 200 at number five. Publications ranging
from Rolling Stone to The Wire included it in their respective year-end lists of
best albums.

After a handful of collaborations, Earl returned in March 2015 with I Dont Like
Shit, I Dont Go Outside, an album only half-an-hour in length but received as a
major follow-up for its artfully insular quality. Earl handled the production on
all but one track of the album, a number 12 Billboard 200 hit. Between solo
releases, Earl popped up on a handful of tracks, including Danny Browns Really
Doe, and expanded his production discography with a number of one-offs, as well
as extensive work with Mach-Hommy and Denmark Vessey. Earl released his third LP
for Columbia, Some Rap Songs, in November 2018. The album arrived following the
death of his father, South African poet and activist Keorapetse Kgositsile (aka
Bra Willie). He returned relatively quickly in late 2019 with the seven-song
project Feet of Clay. The brief collection included guest appearances from Mavi,
Mach-Hommy, and Liv.E. ~ Gregory Heaney & Andy Kellman, Rovi
