Earl Sweatshirt Announces "Wearled Tour"
Earl Sweatshirt, who rose from a expedited, mysterious lyricist to one of the leaders of the next generation of hip-hop artists on the strength of his recent relesae, Doris, today announced his first headlining tour. The "Wearled Tour" kicks off in Fort Collins and Denver next week before taking off for dates in Australia, for Laneway Festival, and New Zealand. The 19-year-old Odd Future affiliate is currently in the process of working on his follow-up to Doris, before spending the Spring skipping around the world. The growth in hip-hop is real, as can be seen from Earl and his peer and tourmate last summer on Mac Miller's Space Migration Tour, Chance The Rapper. Both have parlayed early touring experience into solid headlining gigs. Time for the next generation, check out the full tour dates below, tix here.

[Album] MellowHigh: "MellowHigh"
Ever since OFWGKTA hit the scene a few years back when Tyler ate a tarantula in his over-exposed nightmare that was Bastard, Odd Future has been a staple of the modern hip-hop world. While Tyler and Earl provided the intensity and wow factor, it has always been Domo Genesis and Hodgy Beats who were recognized as the truest lyricists of the collective. Having released a couple projects as MellowHype, the pair finally teamed up with fellow OFWGKTA producer Left Brain for a full project that has been awhile in the making. True to their original name, the buzz around the album hasn't been crazy, save for a couple songs dropped on SoundCloud and the video for "Yu" which dropped earlier this month. With their latest, self-titled offering, Domo and Hodgy feel right at home over the Left Brain beats. Check out the full stream via Myspace here below along with dates for their current tour which hits Tucson, Arizona tomorrow.

Earl Sweatshirt Announces Tour, Talks EarlWolf

Since setting foot back on American soil after a forced year abroad, Earl Sweatshirt has basically done what everyone had been waiting for: make hot rap songs. On the heels of his critically acclaimed Doris, Earl recently announced the dates on his upcoming tour and also talked about EarlWolf, the rumored collaboration album with Tyler, The Creator. "We'll do the record when we're ready to sit down for a month and a half and do it in one [specific time period]," Earl Sweatshirt said during an interview with nme.com. "It'd be shitty if it was spread out. That's how I want to do shit from now on. That's what I learned from doing Doris. Trying to piece shit together that's hella spread out kinda sucks. You hit a lot more walls trying to make it sync." Keep it posted for more on that and look below for when Earl rolls through your town.
