EarDrummers Rapper Eearz Talks Working with Mike WiLL Made-It, Announces New Project
Big things are coming
While Rae Sremmurd is currently the most notable act under Mike WiLL Made-It’s EarDrummers Entertainment, the Atlanta producer has another protege waiting in the wings, ready for rap stardom.
Meet Eearz.
The 23 year-old rapper only signed to EarDrummers/Interscope Records in April 2016, but he’s been working with Mike WiLL for a few years, as he appeared on the 2014 Ransom track “Change.”
Since then, he’s gone on to release projects Eaarz to Da Streets Vol. 1 and Vol 2, before appearing on Mike WiLL’s 2017 release Ransom 2.
“I was just making noise in the neighborhood and Mike WiLL heard about that s***,” Eearz said. “When he figured out who I was, the rest was history. He took me up under his wing, and I’ve been making f***in smashes ever since.”
According to Eearz, those smashes fall under the category of “grimy, electrifying rap”, and songs such as “Work Ya Muscle” and “Ride Shotgun” have received plenty of attention from rap fans.
The Atlanta rapper is a self-proclaimed lover of music, with his influences spanning from Tupac Shakur to John Mayer, and his list of desired collaborators ranging from Kendrick Lamar and YG to Adele and Sia.
Furthermore, Eearz said he is a huge fan of working with others and meshing styles together. But don’t misinterpret his approachability as a lack of confidence.
“Nobody can f*** with me and my gang,” Eearz said. “If you try and step into the Eaarz realm, then you’re just gonna shoot yourself in the foot, because you can’t do what I do. I’m a whole other energy.”
Eearz will have an opportunity to showcase that energy on his new mixtape Supersede, which will drop May 5, The Clout can exclusively reveal.
Eearz said the mixtape is like “Dragon Ball Z in real life,” and projects to be a classic with its unique sound.
Furthermore, while Eearz to Da Streets Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 opened doors for Eearz in terms of touring and working with new artists, he believes his latest project can really put him on the map, and features “the biggest slap of the year.”
The EarDrummers rapper said he plans to release two more projects after Supersede in 2017, and hopes to eventually headline his own tour.
“One thing I feel like the world is yet to be exposed to is my shows, my performances,” Eearz said. “An Eearz concert is f***in out of body.”
Ultimately, Eearz isn’t viewing success as an individual quest. He values the work he’s done with Rae Sremmurd, and views EarDrummers as a “dynasty” and platform that surrounds him with many gifted music minds.
So while he may be on the cusp of stardom, he knows he isn’t getting there alone.
“Whoever fucks with Eearz, the door is wide open,” the rapper said. “Let’s make something that’s gonna’ last the test of time.”
