Earl Sweatshirt just released the second video from his much anticipated debut album, Doris, being released this August. The video is a bit of a relapse after the much sunnier “Whoa”, but contains all the same elements that made “Chum” so great. Watch it below.

Earl Sweatshirt just released the next song off his upcoming album, Doris. The video (which features and was directed by Tyler, The Creator) includes a cracked out ballerina, Earl on lie-low and furious ice-cream eating. After seeing “Chum” and now this, I think it’s safe to say that Earl is probably one of the most exciting people in hip hop today.

Tyler, The Creator | “Domo 23” Video.

Tyler, The Creator’s new self-directed video for “Domo 23”, the new single from his forthcoming album Wolf, has Tyler and Domo Genesis playing wrestlers, Earl Sweatshirt playing the referee, and Odd Future members playing the audience. All in all the video is aimed at being this whole comedic homage to wrestling and its many idiocies, and at the end cuts to a preview of “Beamer” where he’s wearing a golf t-shirt which I really fucking want. Like right now.

There are so many things that I love about this video. The main things being the slowly swirling directing from Hiro Murai, and Earl’s vacant expression which carries the entire video, making it feel unavoidably introspective.

Flying Lotus + Earl Sweatshirt + Captain Murphy | “Between Friends”

An unreleased song from Flying Lotus’s next album, Until the Quiet Comes, just surfaced. The song is called “Between Friends” and features Earl Sweatshirt and Captain Murphy. Listen to it below.

Playlist: Crazy White Bitches

Seeing as though this is the most relevant music blog around, I’ve decided that I should probably be dedicating posts to what equally relevant people are listening to; and who better to start with than the most relevant bitches in town?

Crazy White Bitches was started by Fani, Naama and Isa. According to them, it is a collaborative clothing sale that happens every few weeks in Cape Town, which provides cool, hard-to-find clothes, shoes and accessories at affordable prices. They also have a pretty amazing blog (go here) which provides hours of entertainment relating to their lives, their friends and obviously fashion.

So what do these girls listen to? I asked CWB what their top 10 favourite songs are at the moment and this is the playlist they came up with (in no particular order).

1. Drake – Over My Dead Body

2. Earl Sweatshirt – Drop

3. Justin Bieber – Pick Me

4. Nelly – E.I

5. Jay-Z and Kanye West Feat. Mr Hudson and Cassius – Why I Love You

6. Frank Ocean – Songs For Women

7. Best Coast – Goodbye

8. Anthony and the Johnsons – Fistful of Love

9. Outkast – So Fresh, So Clean

I’ve saved the best for last. CWB are totally obsessed with “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen, so obsessed that one of the bitches (Isa, aka LOVE OF MY LIFE) actually recreated the video that made the song so popular. Enjoy!
