All about Earl Sweatshirt’s ‘Live Laugh Love’: Release date and full tracklist revealed

Earl Sweatshirt is stepping into a new chapter, both musically and personally. The rapper has confirmed that his sixth studio album, Live Laugh Love, arrives on August 22.

The announcement came through his Instagram, where he shared the cover art, track list, and even slipped in a LeBron James meme of the NBA star smiling through disbelief.

The project features production credits from Theravada, Navy Blue, Black Noi$e, Child Actor, and Earl Sweatshirt himself, but no listed guest features.

Ahead of the official reveal, fans got a taste of the rollout in unusual Earl fashion. Per Complex, a listening party was held last week where the rapper sent out an imposter in his place.

Attendees were also handed zines filled with contributor shoutouts, ranging from actor Steven Yeun and director Hiro Murai to Vince Staples, Donald Glover, Dave Chappelle, Liv.e, BKTHERULA, The Alchemist, and even Earl’s mother, Cheryl Harris.

The album follows last year’s Voir Dire, a collaborative effort with The Alchemist.

Here’s the full Live Laugh Love track list:

1. “gsw vs sac”
2. “FORGE”
3. “INFATUATION”
4. “Gamma (need the <3)”
5. “WELL DONE!”
6. “Live”
7. “Static”
8. “CRISCO”
9. “TOURMALINE”
10. “Heavy Metal aka ejecto seato!”
11. “exhaust”

Earl Sweatshirt and Aida Osman celebrate parenthood in their own style: "It’s always perfect because it’s ours"

Meanwhile, the moment doubled as a nod to Earl Sweatshirt’s current life changes, as he and wife Aida Osman recently welcomed their first child.

Aida Osman marked the news with a series of personal maternity photos. She captioned the post:

“We never made it to a studio to take maternity photos but right before I got induced Thebe suggested we do self-timer in the backyard. It’s always perfect because it’s ours! Live Laugh Love everyone.”

The couple has been together since August 2022.

Born Thebe Kgositsile, Earl Sweatshirt has been a fixture in hip-hop for nearly two decades. His breakout came as part of Tyler, the Creator’s Odd Future collective in 2009, followed by the release of his second mixtape, Earl.

Over the years, he’s continued to be one of rap’s most critically acclaimed artists.

His discography includes the cult favorite I Don’t Like S**t, I Don’t Go Outside (2015) and Some Rap Songs (2018). He also contributed to Frank Ocean’s Channel Orange, which earned a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year in 2013.

Frequent collaborations with artists such as Vince Staples, Mac Miller, MIKE, and Armand Hammer have further cemented his influence.
