Earl Sweatshirt: Chum Track Review


Earl Sweatshirt has been viewed as the Boy Wonder of Odd Future.  With the release of the mixtape EARL, Earl Sweatshirt set a new standard for "horrorcore".  In fact his mixtape was the best thing to ever come out of OFWGTKA.  Now Earl is back with a brand new track and a statement.  Those looking for themes of rape, murder, drugs and death will be thoroughly disappointed with this track and the upcoming album.  On "Chum" a low distorted bass tone pulsates alongside a choppy snare pattern introduced by a subdued yelp, while Earl uncovers a harrowing and honest introspection on his father: "It's probably been 12 years since my father left/Left me fatherless/And I just used to say "I hate him" in dishonest jest/When honestly I miss this nigga, like when i was six", his life in OF: "We were the pottymouth posse crash the party and dip/With all belongings then toss 'em out to the audience" and finally just on growing up: "Someting sinister to it/Pendulum swinging slower, degenerate moving/Through the city with criminal stealth, welcome to enemy turf".
