Born Thebe Kgositsile, EARL SWEATSHIRT is a Los Angeles-based rapper and member of the ODD FUTURE WOLF GANG KILL THEM ALL (OFWGKTA) crew. Following in the footsteps of EMINEM, NATAS, AND ESHAM, his languid style is a blend of highly personal alt-rap and morbid horrorcore. In 2010, he released his Earl mixtape to critical acclaim before mysteriously going on hiatus later that year. (It was subsequently revealed that SWEATSHIRT had been sent to a Samoan boarding school by his mother during this period.) He returned to L.A. at age 18, determined to build on the success of EARL, and he ultimately signed a deal with Columbia Records, enabling him to issue material on the major label through his own Tan Cressida imprint.
