"EARL" /// Music Video. from AG Rojas on Vimeo.
Earl spits raunchy, violent, occasionally juvenile lyrics that fall well into NC-17 territory. Add to that a video as disturbing as anything in Larry Clark's oeuvre
featuring teens overdosing on a concoction of malt liquor, weed, codeine and cough syrup - not to mention a scene or two of self mutilation - and the only thing preventing this kid from generating a perfect storm of parental outrage is any sort of mainstream exposure. et past the shock of hearing a 15 year old rhyme about sodomy and murder, however, and there's a surprisingly competent emcee to be found. As he matures and learns the value of subtlety (something sorely lacking on his mixtape, for example, which includes tracks named "epaR" and "Kill"), I suspect we'll be hearing a lot more from him.
