Known for their laid-back production and masterful storytelling, rap artist Earl Sweatshirt will make a highly anticipated return to Finland.

Earl Sweatshirt is a South African-American hip-hop artist who began their career as a teenager under the name Sly Tendencies. The artist adopted their current stage name after being invited to join the rap collective Odd Future in 2009, at just 15 years old. Earl Sweatshirt’s debut album Doris won over even the genre’s most critical listeners, and has throughout the impressive career earned respect especially for virtuosic and authentic storytelling.
In August, Earl Sweatshirt released his latest album Live Laugh Love. The artist has said the album began as ironic criticism but evolved during the creative process into a serious commentary on the chaos of existence. Unlike earlier works, which have often featured heavy sampling, the new album has a hazy, cinematic sound, that offers listeners melancholic melodies and lyrics inspired by love and spirituality.
