Earl Sweatshirt Returns With ‘Live Laugh Love’ Album

It’s a good day for Earl Sweatshirt fans: The rapper/producer just released Live, Laugh, Love — his first full-length solo project in over three years.

But as the event came to a close, DJ Black Noi$e hopped on the mic to announce “Earl’s” big entrance.

Live, Laugh, Love spans 11 tracks, with titles like “gsw vs sac,” “Gamma (need the <3>

The project marks Earl’s first solo release since 2022’s Sick! and his first album since 2023’s Voir Dire with The Alchemist. You can stream Live, Laugh, Love now on all major platforms.
