Earl Sweatshirt has broken his musical silence in a big way. The Odd Future member announced last week that his depressingly titled album is I Don't Like S**t, I Don't Go Outside. The dark and lyrically sophisticated album is an intimate view inside the mind and personality of Sweatshirt over the past two years, who according to the Doris rapper has not been outside in quite some time, explaining, "I haven been outside in a minute / I been living what I wrote." The new album, which you can stream on Spotify, is largely devoid of features, but it does feature the talents of Vince Staples, Wiki, Na'kel and Da$h.
The 21-year-old rapper was unhappy with how his album was rolled out during the week. The album was announced suddenly last Monday, March 16, with the release of "Grief," and he expressed his disgust with his label Sony, which ruined the surprise.
"label got me F**KED up!!!!!!!! I WOULD LIKE TO PERSONALLY THANK @SonyMusicGlobal 4 F**KING UP THE ROLL OUT PROCESS OF MY S**T. SOMEONE GOTS 2 PAY 4 THEIR MISTAKES ! #SWEAT," Sweatshirt wrote in a series of tweets. "ITS TRASH TO HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMEONE ELSE'S ERRORS, I AM F**KING HOT."

Sweatshirt will be heading out on his "Not Redy 2 Leave" tour, which will feature album collaborator Vince Staples and Remy Banks.
The tour kicks off in St. Louis tomorrow night, March 24, before criss-crossing all across North America for 31 dates over three months in cities like New York, Toronto, Cincinnati, Raleigh, Austin and more before finishing off with a few festival dates in the U.K. and the Netherlands, including the Disclosure- and Rudimental-curated, Wild Life Festival.
