Features
Earl Sweatshirt and MIKE build something bigger than a collaboration
There’s been plenty of crossover between Earl Sweatshirt and MIKE over the years, but ‘POMPEII // UTILITY’ is where it all clicks into place. Built with SURF GANG and stretched across a double album, it captures two artists doing exactly what they want, exactly how they want to do it.

Lyrics

Earl Sweatshirt — Red Water

I know I'm a king, stock on my shoulder, I was sinkin'

I ain't know that I could leave

Pops called me king

Gotta keep it brief

Locked and load, I can see you lying through your teeth

Fingers on my soul, this is 23

Blood in the water, I was walking in my sleep

Blood on my father, I forgot another dream
