Earl Sweatshirt has announced a new 10-song project called Sick, which’ll get released on January 14 via Tan Cressida and Warner Records.

Sick follows Earl Sweatshirt’s 2019 project Feet of Clay. In a statement, Earl Sweatshirt said:
Sick is my humble offering of 10 songs recorded in the wake of the worldwide coronavirus pandemic and its subsequent lockdowns. Before the virus I had been working on an album I named after a book I used to read with my mother (The People Could Fly). Once the lockdowns hit, people couldn’t fly anymore. A wise man said art imitates life. People were sick. The People were angry and isolated and restless. I leaned into the chaos cause it was apparent that it wasn’t going anywhere. These songs are what happened when I would come up for air. Peace and love to Zelooperz the enigma, the Armand Hammer, and my good friends Alchemist and Black Noi$e. Peace and love to u.
Earl Sweatshirt recently returned with the single “2010,” produced by Black Noi$e. Revisit the feature “Earl Sweatshirt Does Not Exist.”
