Earl Sweatshirt Explains How Being “Woke” Isn’t Enough To Confront The Issues (Video)

A few days before the conclusion of 2019, MC/producer Earl Sweatshirt scheduled a public talk at the Museum Of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, California, with his mother, Cheryl Harris, a law professor at the University of California. The talk was called “In/between us: a conversation on art, music, and life.” The idea was to bridge the gap between fans and the closest person to Earl, after the two were introduced in the public light as feuding kin.

“It was already a public thing, so it’s got to wrap up as a public thing,” Earl told The People’s Party With Talib Kweli co-host, Jasmin Leigh, at a short Q&A session before he began the 45-minute public conversation with his mother. The entire talk, with Earl and Leigh, and Earl with his mother, has been uploaded for all to watch and hear. Harris and Sweatshirt take time to discuss social media, creating art, how proud Harris is of her son, and Earl’s upbringing with comedy records.

Sparoh’s “Panama” Delivers a Powerful Message of Confidence and Creative Freedom

Sparoh is an Atlanta-based artist creating music at the crossroads of melodic trap, alternative pop, and punk-fueled rebellion. Equal parts vulnerable and unapologetic, her work explores identity, liberation, and the complexities of Black womanhood.Raised in the DMV on a foundation of jazz, funk, and blues, Sparoh was drawn early to artists who challenged convention and redefined what was possible. Influenced by trailblazers like Joyce Kennedy,…See More
