Before the virus I had been working on an album I named after a book I used to read with my mother (The People Could Fly). Once the lockdowns hit, people couldn\u2019t fly anymore. A wise man said art imitates life. People were sick. The People were angry and isolated and restless. I leaned into the chaos cause it was apparent that it wasn\u2019t going anywhere. These songs are what happened when I would come up for air. Peace and love to Zelooperz the enigma, the Armand Hammer, and my good friends Alchemist and Black Noi$e. Peace and love to u.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sweatshirt has also just announced a joint tour with Action Bronson that starts shortly after the album\u2019s release on January 29th and goes through March.
