Nowhere2go | Earl Sweatshirt

Filed under Jam of the Day, Music
It feels like forever ago when I would sit down to watch California rap collective Odd Future’s TV show “Loiter Squad” with my older brother, both of us laughing at their ridiculous sketches and rocking those eccentric pastel-colored t-shirts.
