Earl Sweatshirt @ Metro
Earl Sweatshirt performs at Metro, 3730 N. Clark St., on Tuesday, October 15th. In the nearly two years since his biblical return from a stint in a Samoan school for at-risk boys, the youngest member of Odd Future has cultivated a name for himself as a solo rapper by releasing his first proper studio album, Doris, earlier this year, which features guest spots from his OFWKTA buddies Tyler, the Creator and Frank Ocean. Here's hoping for some surprise guest appearances. The all-ages show starts at 7pm (doors open at 6) and tickets are $21.
