I agree with the original comment completely. Kind of glad I heard Grief first, because I'm pleasantly surprised by the album now.

Reading that Earl produced every track except the Left Brain produced "Off Top". Pretty fucking impressive. Picking out new lines on every listen, just hope he's got more heat on deck.

Length of this album is perfect, this kind of everything I was hoping Doris would be after I heard chum.

Good interview here:

Great interview, makes a few of my favorite tracks "Grief", "Faucet", and "DNA" even better. Sounds like he has another project dedicated to his mom wrapped? His head seems like it's really in the right place too, bet we get a lot of great music out of him the next few years.

Very dope album. Huge improvement, sound-wise. It sounds like the mood Earl has been trying convey, finally.

^This. The maturation is incredible. He gave a great interview to NPR:

I like Doris a lot, didn't really understand the disappointment there. I can't get into the features on here except for Vince's, but it's definitely a more focused work.

Earl's new shit is real dope. I've found myself playing it a few times a day for the last week. Real consistent and focused. I was late to the Earl wagon and only really listened to Doris late last year. The kid can rap his ass off.

he started performing a new song live, which usually is how he starts an album roll out. some people think he might follow up with another project this year.

Yeah, got Earl, Doris and IDLSIDGO.

Just wondering if anyone knew of some unofficial mixes of all the one off songs that are out there, and/or collabs he's done off other non OF albums.
