Earl Sweatshirt, Mike & Surf Gang - Pompeii // Utility NEW Vinyl

POMPEII // UTILITY unites two kindred spirit rappers from opposite coasts within SURF GANG’s world-building genius. Structured as a true double album — MIKE on one side, Earl on the other — POMPEII // UTILITY unfolds through a rotating cast of side quests and characters from within its shared creative ecosystem. Jadasea, Anysia Kym, Niontay, Na-Kel Smith, and Lerado Khalil all make appearances, passing through the album’s vast terrain, while behind the scenes, SURF GANG producers Harrison, EvilGiane, Elipropperr, and Flea Diamonds (with input from additional producers) wield the gritty, raspy, animated beats that build its container. SURF GANG's previous production credits include Baby Keem, Kendrick Lamar, A$AP Rocky & Playboi Carti. Arriving on the heels of 2025 albums from both rappers — MIKE’s Showbiz! and Earl’s Live, Laugh, Love — POMPEII // UTILITY plays like a victory lap that traces their friendship back over more than a decade. Where two rappers going head-to-head might otherwise incite rivalry or comparison, POMPEII // UTILITY offers something rooted and communal — a shared understanding of care, joy, grief, process, and responsibility to something larger than yourself. A joint release via all three artists’ respective labels: 10k, Tan Cressida and Surf Gang Records.
