MixMag | FREE THEBE: EARL SWEATSHIRT IS COMING INTO HIS OWN

“To contextualise my pain in the past three years of my life," he says wearily, "my father died in January 2018 and I grieved for a year. Alcohol f***ing crushed me that year. Then ‘Some Rap Songs’ came out in November 2018. I toured for like nine months. I was still trying to celebrate the grief away and then close friend and collaborator Mac Miller died. I didn’t even have space to process that s***. I just had to compartmentalise that s***. It was just too much.”

Initially, the Los Angeles-based rapper was going to release a different project titled ‘The People Could Fly’, named after Virginia Hamilton’s Black American Folktale about a group of slaves who use magic to set themselves free. But then the COVID-19 pandemic hit, “people couldn't fly anymore … People were sick”. Only two songs from those earlier sessions - ‘Old Friend’ and ‘Tabula Rasa’ - made it onto this album, after “supremely bad decision making" caused the computer containing the work to be lost.

LEAD SINGLES:

"Titanic"

"2010"

"Tabula Rasa" (ft. Armand Hammer)

IN

without a doubt one of the greatest lyricists of our generation.

we roam tundras

the boy been gone a few summers
too long from road running
trunk full of old hunnids
of course my old lover was scorned
we grow from it, dont
tell me they dont hunt us for sport i chose substances
no cuddles, the bases is all
covered niggas come in the door and smoke something
choke up on the slugger from home run-in's
nigga its on, chest thump his thump on the floor
we pressed
up on the boy no more bluffin
cold summers dont
tussle with strangers some of those keep
one in the chambers three spliffs had my
wing tips clipped i was stuck in a hangar
nigga
muffle my pain and muzzle my brain up
really im jus making sure my promise is kept
chuck a deuce if u kno its the end
keep the truth in my palm and my chest
see it through
keep a noose hanging off of my neck
we got the juice niggas corny as s***
we on the loose niggas know what it is
we making moves
niggas corny as s*** we got the juice niggas know what it is
yeah

'three spliffs had my
wing tips clipped i was stuck in a hangar
muffle my pain and muzzle my brain up
really im jus making sure my promise is kept
chuck a deuce if u kno its the end
keep the truth in my palm and my chest
see it through
keep a noose hanging off of my neck'
