Earl Sweatshirt has been rocking with the @important_man464 Soundcloud handle for a while, but it had been almost a year since he'd used the account to release any music -- until last night, when Sweatshirt unleashed three new tracks -- first "Wind in My Sails," then a pair of instrumentals in "SKRT SKRT" & "Bary."
"Bary" is more or less a chopped 'n screwed take on Kanye West's slugger anthem "Barry Bonds." The cover art features a young Barry rocking the tux & jherl curls in his happier days, before the fame, before the acrimony. If I had to pick one artist to bring back jheri curls, my money's on Earl Sweatshirt.
