Earl Sweatshirt + Vince Staples

If Tyler, the Creator is the controversial figurehead of the Odd Future gang, Earl Sweatshirt is the reclusive savant. The young rapper disappeared just as the Los Angeles collective began to take off in 2010, only to reappear in 2012 with his relentlessly clever rhymes still intact. His major label debut, Doris, was a deeply personal record, and the follow-up, Home Alone with Reggie, is due soonish. He returns again with fellow bright young LA mind Vince Staples.
