Listen: Earl Sweatshirt – “Dat Ass”
A brand new track has surfaced from OFWGKTA‘s lost member Earl Sweatshirt, who is rumored to be attending boarding school. The new track is entitled “Dat Ass” and first appeared in one of Earl’s skater videos but was never actually released. It has now been revealed that the track is from Earl’s unreleased mixtape Kitchen Cutlery, recorded by Earl two years ago and even before he joined Odd Future. Kitchen Cutlery, had it been released, would have seen Earl rap under the alias Sly Tendencies. Currently, it is unknown if the Odd Future crew will release the rest of the Kitchen Cutlery mixtape, but this certainly was a nice surprise from the young rapper.
Free Earl! You can listen to “Dat Ass” in its entirety below.

OK Go Premiere “The Greatest Song I Ever Heard”
OK Go‘s new single “The Greatest Song I Ever Heard” was written for director Morgan Spurlock’s (best known for Super Size Me) latest film, POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, out April 22. The single serves as the theme song for the new documentary that explores the world of product placement. Ironically, the movie itself was funded entirely through corporate sponsorship and the title of the movie even includes an advertisement.
Is it really the greatest song ever? Probably not, but it certainly is a jaunty little rock anthem. Listen for yourself over at Rolling Stone.
New: Childish Gambino – “Break (AOTL)”
Childish Gambino, also known as Donald Glover, dropped a new track today entitled “Break (AOTL)”, flipping Kanye West‘s “All Of The Lights”.
