Earl Sweatshirt is arguably one of the best lyricists in modern rap music. He delivers polysyllabic rhymes laced with meaning and metaphor and self-examines in a way that feels refreshingly out of fashion in the world of mainstream hip-hop. But the man behind the moniker, Thebe Kgositsile, is very different than the rapper on wax. Speaking with People's Party's Jasmin Leigh, it’s clear that Thebe is a man of few words — he prefers to spend time in his head, examining his thoughts and reflecting on the world around him, as so many great poets do.

The most potent moments from the interview came when Thebe opened up to Jasmin about the title of his most recent album "Feet of Clay," his concerns over the ubiquity of the phrase "woke," and his unsettling fears about the current state of our world.

Check it out for a deeply insightful conversation into the state of our world.
