February 01, 2022

Earl Sweatshirt sat down to discuss his new album Sick! with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe on Tuesday (February 1). The lengthy interview covered Earl’s spiritual beliefs and recent journey into fatherhood, but he also spoke fondly about The Alchemist, Madlib and Tyler, The Creator who he said are all producers unlike any other.

“He cares bro,” Earl said of Alchemist. “He cares a lot bro, he cares. And it’s like, whoa, there’s a lot going on … him and Madlib, bro. It’s like, ‘Oh this is not just a loop … you gotta think about the influences. With Al, even with Black, with Madlib, this is like the influences is going back to a certain place.”

Earl explained how his time with Tyler and Odd Future helped him recognize the nuances of quality production.
