I leaned into the chaos cause it was apparent that it wasn’t going anywhere. The People were angry and isolated and restless. Once the lockdowns hit, people couldn’t fly anymore. Before the virus I had been working on an album I named after a book I used to read with my mother (‘The People Could Fly’). “SICK is my humble offering of 10 songs recorded in the wake of the worldwide coronavirus pandemic and its subsequent lockdowns. The video is a one-shot take that brings us through a home studio with first Armand Hammer’s Elucid dropping his verse, before Billy Woods lays his down and Earl brings it home with an ill stream of consciousness flow.Įarl released a statement on Sick and it speaks directly to what he address on “Tabula Rasa”: The announcement also came with the release of the newest single, “Tabula Rasa,” featuring Armand Hammer.

The just-announced Sick is a 10-track project that’s set to drop on January 14th, 2022.

The Black Noise-produced “ 2010” dropped last month, and now, we finally have confirmation of the next Earl release. Then in September, Alchemist went on The Needle Drop and said that Earl’s album was “ done and it’s incredible,” and is 21 minutes long. Next, Vince Staples made the biblical assertion that he, Earl, and Alchemist had laid down “ 30 verses on 30 beats” for a project with Earl and Alchemist. First, Alchemist said he and Earl had hidden an album on YouTube under a fake name.

The rumors around Earl Sweatshirt’s follow up album to 2018’s Some Rap Songs and the 2019 effort Feet Of Clay have been swirling all year long.
