Earl Sweatshirt has joined forces with rap duo Armand Hammer for “Tabula Rasa,” the lead single of his forthcoming LP SICK!

Produced by the Theravada and Rob Chambers, the slow-burning track hears the trio trade verses over a looped soul sample that runs for approximately four minutes. “Tabula Rasa” also arrives with an accompanying music video directed by Josh, which shows the creation of the track’s recording in a one-shot take and closely follows the themes of “2010.”

SICK!, which is set to drop January 14, 2022, marks Sweatshirt’s first project since FEET OF CLAY in 2019:

“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.”
