Earl Sweatshirt & The Alchemist – Voir Dire

Forget Future & Metro Boomin, Earl and Al are the real dream team for those who puff tobacco in Birkenstocks instead of vaping clouds in Air Force Ones. The best double act in rap, no question. They’ve already dropped a couple of tracks together, the latest being the timeless “Lye”, the perfect soundtrack for letting the smoke blow in the wind while you cruise. Now they’ve blessed us with a shared album. “Voir Dire” serves up a solid 30 minutes of the tried and tested formula: Alchemist’s slow, sample-heavy beats and Earl Sweatshirt’s complex, grumpy rhymes.
