Win tickets to see Earl Sweatshirt at The Catalyst on SantaCruz.com
Born Thebe Neruda Kgositsile, Earl Sweatshirt is a central part of the Odd Future rap crew started by Tyler the Creator. The collective’s early lore includes Sweatshirt being sent off to a school for at-risk boys in Samoa, prompting the “Free Earl” movement. But upon his return, Sweatshirt jumped back into Odd Future and started dropping singles and albums. His latest, this year’s I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside: An Album By Earl Sweatshirt, is confessional, dark, and reflective, as he opens up about his lifestyle, his time in Samoa, and his struggle with depression.
INFO: 8 p.m. Wednesday, May 13. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 423-1338.
