Earl Sweatshirt Lets Loose A Gritty Throwback With "Rats"

Earl Sweatshirt may have ruffled a few feathers with the cancelation of the remainder of his tour dates a few weeks back, but we can't be mad when we get a short glimpse at young Earl on a Tyler The Creator production. "Rats" finds a more twisted Earl spitting a dizzying array of ruff rhymes over a sinister piano loop from the Odd Future architect, sounding more like pre-exile Earl than the calloused, yet somehow still spry wordsmith we see hear today. You can listen to Earl(y) Sweathshirt's "Rats" below, just remember: "Fuck titles." Cop Earl's critically adored solo debut Doris via iTunes today.
