Earl Sweatshirt – “Nebraska” (Feat. Mac Miller & Vince Staples)
A nice thing about Earl Sweatshirt: He is perfectly capable of dropping new music on us at any moment, and even if that music is a stoned-friends-fucking-around outtake, it’ll be well worth hearing. Very early this morning, Earl posted a cryptic Twitter clue, and that led to two new songs. The first, “Nebraska,” is a woozy team up with two of Earl’s closest collaborators, the weed-rap superstar Mac Miller and the recent Mixtape Of The Week honoree Vince Staples. He also shared a new solo track called “Songs From 2012 High 6AM Rambling At The 5th.” Both are dense, lo-fi, and murky, and both are packed full of dizzy internal rhymes so loaded with ideas that they’ll require multiple listens to absorb them all. Listen to both tracks below.
Earl’s album Doris is out now on Tan Cressida/Columbia, and it’s very, very good.
