Earl Sweatshirt is ready to step back into Hip Hop’s spotlight. The reclusive MC has announced a new album titled Some Rap Songs, which is scheduled to drop on November 30.
The upcoming LP addresses the death of his father, South African poet laureate Keorapetse Kgositsile, who passed away earlier this year.
“Me and my dad had a relationship that’s not uncommon for people to have with their fathers, which is a non-perfect one,” Earl said in a press release. “Talking to him is symbolic and non-symbolic, but it’s literally closure for my childhood. Not getting to have that moment left me to figure out a lot with my damn self.”
Some Rap Songs will be the acclaimed artist’s first album since 2015’s I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside. To coincide with the LP’s announcement, Earl has released its cover art and the Navy Blue-assisted single “The Mint” produced by Black Noi$e.
