Earl Sweatshirt: Stay Chuckle Love [Tan Cressida/Warner]
Earl Sweatshirt trickled out Stay Love Chuckle with cheeky teasers and a Los Angeles listening party. The brand new album follows the 2023 Alchemist collaboration Voir Dire, and it’s the rapper’s first solo effort since 2022’s Sick!, but it surely actually shares its DNA with 2018 opus Some Rap Songs. The 11-song album is equally stuffed with off-kilter, sample-driven beats, and the Californian’s lyrics and deadpan supply are as potent and affecting as ever. Producers on the album embrace Theravada, Navy Blue, Black Noi$e, and Youngster Actor, and Erykah Badu provides vocals to the closing “Exhaust.”
