Doris

Release Date: December 11, 2015

Earl Sweatshirt's Doris from 2015 delivers dense, introspective hardcore hip-hop with Earl's distinctive monotone flow over murky, atmospheric production. The album runs deep with stream-of-consciousness lyricism about depression, family issues, and coming of age, wrapped in beats that feel both claustrophobic and hypnotic.

Standout Tracks

• Chum: The vulnerable centerpiece about his absent father became his most recognized solo track
• Hive: Features Vince Staples and Casey Veggies over one of the album's most driving beats
• Burgundy: Opens with Earl's raw confessional style over haunting piano loops

Mood: introspective, late night, heavy, contemplative
