Just when you thought this week could not get any better for hip-hop releases, Earl Sweatshirt and Action Bronson do even more to cap off their huge weeks. The pair has teamed up with noted producer and frequent Bronson collaborator The Alchemist on the bonus track "Warlord Leather." Both rappers released albums this week: Action Bronson made his major label debut with Mr. Wonderful and Earl Sweatshirt dropped his depressingly titled I Don't Like Sh**t, I Don't Go Outside.
The track features the pair with a verse each playing to their strengths with the bravado and witty punch lines of Action Bronson and the cerebral sophistication of an Earl verse. The classic sounding, percussion-heavy instrumental from The Alchemist provides the ideal framework for the pair. Background vocals are provided by Lou Diamond Phillips.
The track was released to celebrate the release of I Don't Like S**t, I Don't Go Outside and Mr. Wonderful, which were released Monday, March 23. Since "Warlord Leather" did not make either album, it makes sense to unveil it as a bonus track to the fans with both LPs arriving at the same time as a sort of cross-promotion. They promoted each other's albums on Twitter, so the respect for each other's work is there and this collaboration only seals it.
@Alchemist @ActionBronson lets do it
