Earl Sweatshirt is a rapper who hails from Los Angeles, California, and is very much tearing it up on the hip-hop scene, being signed to Columbia Records, alongside his own label entitled, Tan Cressida. This kid does it all.
Thebe Neruda Kgositsile, who is better known as his pseudonym, Earl Sweatshirt, has had such a fruitful career up until the present, having being discovered by hip hop heavyweight, Tyler, The Creator, through MySpace. He went on to join Tyler’s rap group who go by the name “Odd Future”. Tyler took on his protégé Earl, and went on to produce his debut full-length album, which was released on March 31st 2010 as a free digital download.
Despite all of this success, his Mother, due to finding himself in trouble frequently, sent Earl to a private school in Samoa. He earned his stripes and a couple of academic years later, returned to LA, where he resumed his hip-hop career in full swing. He earned himself 50,000 followers on Twitter due to the release of a new song on his website entitled “Home”. 2012 was a big year for Earl Sweatshirt, as he was featured on the track “Super Rich Kids” from Frank Oceans’ debut album and he released his first solo single since his return from Samoa, entitled “Chum”. He also began work on his second studio album, “Doris”.
It is no surprise that Earl Sweatshirt has been nominated for the BET Hip Hop “Rookie of the Year” Award, and has made multiple TV Show appearances.
