Earl Sweatshirt has announced that he'll follow 2019's great Feet of Clay with a new 10-song album, SICK!, on January 14 via Tan Cressida/Warner. The first single is "Tabula Rasa," which features Armand Hammer (aka billy woods and ELUCID), whose great 2021 album Haram also featured Earl. It's cut from the same left-of-the-dial rap cloth as their last collab, and it's great stuff. Listen and watch the video (which also features cameos by The Alchemist and Boldy James) below.

In a statement accompanying the album announcement, Earl seems to imply that The Alchemist, Black Noi$e, and ZelooperZ also contributed to the album. He also recently released the Black Noi$e-produced song "2010." The statement reads:

SICK! is my humble offering of 10 songs recorded in the wake of the worldwide coronavirus pandemic and its subsequent lockdowns. Before the virus I had been working on an album I named after a book I used to read with my mother ('The People Could Fly'). Once the lockdowns hit, people couldn't fly anymore. A wise man said art imitates life.
People were sick. The People were angry and isolated and restless. I leaned into the chaos cause it was apparent that it wasn't going anywhere. these songs are what happened when I would come up for air. Peace and love to Zelooperz the enigma, The Armand Hammer, and my good friends Alchemist and Black Noi$e. Peace and love to u.
