Overview

• Earl Sweatshirt confirmed the album on Instagram, posting “8/22 LLLz” to set the release for Friday, August 22.
• Days earlier, a secret Los Angeles listening party played what attendees described as the full project before any official announcement.
• An obvious stand-in performed Earl’s songs at the event, a move outlets compared to MF DOOM’s past use of impostor performers.
• Attendees received a printed zine listing contributors such as Donald Glover, Vince Staples, Dave Chappelle, and The Alchemist, which outlets clarified was not an album features list.
• Live Laugh Love follows his 2023 collaboration Voir Dire and would be his first solo full-length since 2022’s SICK!, with official tracklist and credits expected at release.
