Judging by the esteem of the producers on Earl’s new song ‘Quest/Power’, his mom no longer has anything to worry about in regards to her son hanging around with the wrong people. He released the new song on Twitter, briefly after he tweeted the album art.

Even though the pre-release hype was half-assed because of how faded he was, the song only benefits from his tangential mind state. It’s a sleeper upon first listen but becomes more palatable when you acquaint yourself with his cryptic musings, “Tunnel vision on a guap stack” for instance distinguishes him from everybody else by simply saying they’re focused on the paper while he’s obsessing over something else green and valuable.
Check the full song and if you’re after more wordplay and if you’re holding some, it looks like Earl could use your services.
