The moment Earl Sweatshirt (born Thebe Neruda Kgositsile) fans have been waiting for has finally arrived. The Odd Future rapper has at last announced his sophomore artist album, I Don't Like Sh*t, I Don't Go Outside. The follow up to 2013's Doris, the upcoming LP will be released shortly on March 23, the same day as Action Bronson's Mr. Wonderful and the original date of Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A Butterfly.
This isn't totally out of the blue either. In October, Kgositsile announced to the world that he had a finished album, but he was just waiting for the right time to release the tracks. He premiered several of them at a show in Santa Ana in December to build buzz for his new music but has largely silent until this point.
everyone hassling me about music need to shut the fuck up I been sitting on a completely finished album since June just shut up and wait
