In a newly published interview with The New York Times, Earl Sweatshirt has revealed some pretty huge news for his solo career. He apparently now has his own imprint called Tan Cressida that will be distributed through Columbia Records, much like Odd Future's deal through Sony Music's RED Distribution.
In addition to breaking that news, the recently returned rapper also announced that he has projects in the works with OFWGKTA cohorts Tyler, the Creator and Matt Martians. The world's been waiting on that project with Tyler, EarlWolf, for several years now, though of course we all had to wait for Earl to come home first. If only we had some release dates, right?
Earl also noted that we'll be hearing a change in his lyrics:
“That was a pivotal moment,” he said one afternoon at Bristol Farms, a supermarket near his manager’s office. One of the things Earl Sweatshirt had been prized for as a rapper was his extreme imagery, bordering on vile. “You can detach imagery from words,” he said, adding that he “never actually pictured” the things he rapped about.
