Earl Sweatshirt & MIKE, Evil Giane and Harrison pull up to Mornings With Mero for a raw, unfiltered conversation ahead of their double album “Pompeii Utilities,” dropping April 3rd.
They break down how the project came together piece by piece over multiple studio sessions, why dropping it as a double album instead of separate solo records felt like the only honest move, and what it means to move as a collective in 2024.
Earl opens up about navigating his mythical status in rap while staying grounded in the underground, the Odd Future days and what he learned (and lost) from that era, and how fatherhood has reshaped the way he works and communicates. MIKE gets into balancing family life on the road, the brotherhood that keeps the music moving, and why touring makes you a “night creature.”
Plus — they premiere an exclusive unreleased track live on air.
