Thebe Kgositsile Presents: FIRE IT UP! A tour starring
EARL SWEATSHIRT & FRIENDS
with MIKE

Earl Sweatshirt changed the direction of contemporary rap at the age of 16, releasing his eponymous debut mixtape and building a rebellious and gritty new mold for hip hop. Since that debut, Earl has grown exponentially both in his music and as a person, capturing his growing pains and personal evolution across two solo studio albums and culminating in his critically-acclaimed fourth solo project Some Rap Songs released in November 2018. The album is a concise reflection on a rapper who has grown up in the spotlight, with the New Yorker describing it as "an example of how a young rap star can evolve."

If you're not familiar, MIKE is a 20-year-old rapper from NYC. He grew up on the music of Earl, King Krule, and Doom, and in 2017 released his mixtape May God Bless Your Hustle which earned "Best New Music" in Pitchfork's review. He had a breakout 2018, releasing four projects capped off by his latest project War in My Pen, which Pitchfork called "a faraway vibe that rewards close listening."
