The panic finally cleared at midnight ET today, when the entire 11-track “Voir Dire” album-yes, the very same secretly crafted years ago by Earl and The Alchemist- dropped on Gala, where it will stream exclusively. Perhaps the two might address the hubbub? No The Alchemist approached Earl silently with a large cake, let Earl blow out the candles, and then walked promptly back off stage, grinning, without uttering a single word. Towards the end of the LA concert, which featured prolonged cameos from “Doris” collaborators including Tyler, the Creator and Vince Staples, The Alchemist took the stage to delirious applause.

Earl Sweatshirt fans pass a mysterious QR code at the Los Angeles "Doris" show. “Proof or fuck off NOW,” one Earl fan begged in exasperation. But by that point, the foreplay was becoming excruciating for some. On Monday, a successfully solved crossword puzzle revealed a track list for an album called “Voir Dire,” apparently cementing its existence. Over the next four days, at “Doris” anniversary concerts in Chicago and New York, the mystery continued to unfurl-more posters and more clues.

Earl Sweatshirt fans pick up free concert posters in Los Angeles (secretly) from Gala. Those posters led back to the Gala site once again ( /hahaha), which now featured riddles that, if answered correctly, offered access to several more vague posts, including allusions to the legal phrase “Voir Dire” and GPS coordinates to a jazz venue in London.
Over half of the show’s 2,000 attendees did so. At the first stop of Earl’s “Doris” tour, in downtown Los Angeles, fans found more mysterious QR codes, taped everywhere, that they could scan to receive free concert posters.
It'll help you in life,” one commenter chided. Earl would never actually touch the blockchain. But the user wasn’t sure he hadn’t hallucinated the remark further, most fans agreed that if the comment had been made, it was certainly a joke. Or, didn’t he? One Reddit user swore that back in 2022, at a concert in Denver, he had heard Earl announce a plan to drop 10,000 R&B NFTs. Gala Music is an NFT-backed, decentralized streaming platform-so theoretically, new music could be coming. “I just don’t want to get my hopes up,” one user wrote.ĪD Earl Sweatshirt on tour for the "Doris" anniversary in Los Angeles. QR codes on the back of price tags for the tour’s merch directed people to a website called Gala, where a screenshot of a tweet from The Alchemist read: “SPEAK THE TRUTH.” The Earl Sweatshirt subreddit blew up in a speculative frenzy, but guarded skepticism prevailed. Earl was embarking on a mad-dash, weeklong international tour to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of his first album, “Doris.”

So last week, when a series of cryptic clues started dropping from the sky, seemingly teasing the ever-elusive Earl/Alchemist album, the first reaction of many fans was caution. He’s always in on some sort of joke his loyal followers are often left hoping that they are, too. As a performer, Earl employs layer upon layer of deadpan and irony. The artist’s songs have long defied categorization, flipping from deceptively funny to unexpectedly depressing on a dime his distinctive lyrics, densely packed poetic musings, construct vividly abstract visual collages that resist literal interpretation. Ready to cop this piece of history? Set an alarm as the album drops today at 12:00pm ET… /p0cRKiIzLn The high anticipated album VOIR DIRE by and is available to stream NOW on Gala Music!
