About the album

The Odd Future prodigy's first studio album is moody, intricate and endlessly quotable, with production from Earl himself under the name randomblackdude alongside the Neptunes, RZA, BadBadNotGood and Christian Rich.

"Chum" is a stunning, introspective single, "Hive" with Vince Staples is dark and menacing, "Sunday" pairs Earl with Frank Ocean, and "Burgundy" and "Whoa" show off his razor-sharp wordplay. Explicit lyrics.
