Chum, released in 2012, is an introspective track where Earl Sweatshirt delves into themes of identity, family, and inner turmoil. The minimalist production, featuring a looping piano and bass, complements Earl’s raw, reflective lyrics, addressing the absence of his father and the struggles with his own emotions. Directed by Hiro Murai, the black-and-white music video mirrors the song’s dark, contemplative tone. The song became a standout single from Earl’s debut album *Doris*.
