Odd Future’s Earl Sweatshirt has announced plans to switch up his rap alias following his distancing from the popular West Coast crew.
Sweatshirt broke the unexpected news to fans last night (July 29) on Twitter.
In a recent interview, Sweatshirt talked about focusing on his solo career instead of estranged hip-hop group Odd Future.
“Right now, I’m really trying to set my own two feet down as me,” he says. “The OF thing follows you – it’s viral – even though not one thing I’ve done in the past couple years has been focused on OF.” Are they like a family you love but want to escape? “Yeah,” he says, wearily. “It’s my teenage boy club that got famous that I’m trying to not be defined by.” (The Guardian)
Group leader Tyler, the Creator sparked an Odd Future debate with a Twitter post about his crew ending in May.
Earl Sweatshirt also came forward to speak out.
