From Billboard Magazine:

Odd Future’s Tyler, the Creator, announced the next release from the collective, “Odd Future Tape Vol. 2,” on Tuesday, stating the collection of new material would arrive Feb. 20 — but without Earl.

“Sweatshirt Will Not Be On The Tape,” he tweeted, before unveiling his fellow MC’s new Twitter account, @earlxsweat.

In his return to the web, Earl promised to release new material, if he reached 50,000 Twitter followers. His count stood at nearly 27,000 on Wednesday evening.

His future with Odd Future is unclear: Tyler’s Twitter page alluded to a dramatic situation, while Hodgy Beats wrote on his Twitter page, “Nowadays people have personal intentions tryna use my ni**a earl… Earl isn’t free.”

Odd Future, however, are notable pranksters — it may take a more public appearance to prove that the MC has finally returned.
