While Tyler, the Creator emerged as the poster boy for the L.A. alt-hip-hop force Odd Future, it was Earl Sweatshirt—a drawly, gangly crony three years Tyler’s junior—who seemed like the purest embodiment of the collective’s insouciant genius. Just as Odd Future’s stock was spiking, though, the teenager born Thebe Neruda Kgositsile seemed to vanish; almost instantly, he attained folk-hero status. It turns out that our protagonist was cloistered away in, yes, Samoa—at an academy for wayward youth. He’s since reemerged to snap up what he had coming, including a swank Columbia deal. His newest LP, I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside, surprise-released in March, builds on the molasses-paced introspection of his debut, Doris.
