Oops! Earl Sweatshirt’s “Surprise” Album Announced By Label A Week Early
(Not-so-)Surprise! Earl Sweatshirt, definitely not a Taylor Swift fan, is dropping a new album next week on Monday (March 23). The only problem: It appears as if the Odd Future rapper wanted that info kept under wraps until the LP actually arrived.
A press release went out this morning announcing the following:
“Earl Sweatshirt is back to surprise fans with the announcement of his new record I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside. Fans don’t need to wait long because the album will be released digitally on March 23 and will see physical releases on CD and vinyl soon after.”
A pre-order was even set up for Sweatshirt’s sophomore album. Maybe this wasn’t the route 21-year-old Earl (real name: Thebe Neruda Kgositsile) wanted to go, however.
“I WOULD LIKE TO PERSONALLY THANK @SonyMusicGlobal 4 FUCKING UP THE ROLL OUT PROCESS OF MY SHIT. SOMEONE GOTS 2 PAY 4 THEIR MISTAKES,” the MC tweeted overnight. Below is the full round of tweets he fired off:
label got me FUCKED up!!!!!!!!
