After sharing new single "Nowhere2go" earlier this month, Earl Sweatshirt has revealed the details behind his third studio album.

Titled Some Rap Songs, Earl's latest will arrive November 30 through Tan Cressida/Columbia. It follows 2015's I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside. You can find the album's artwork above.

Following "Nowhere2go," Earl has shared new single "The Mint," which you can hear below. The song features Navy Blue of New York crew sLUms, who also count MIKE, Jazz Jodi and more among their members. The track was produced by Black Noi$e and mixed by Standing on the Corner.

In a statement, Earl revealed that Some Rap Songs addresses the death of his father Keorapetse Kgositsile. 

"Me and my dad had a relationship that's not uncommon for people to have with their fathers, which is a non-perfect one," Earl said. "Talking to him is symbolic and non-symbolic, but it's literally closure for my childhood. Not getting to have that moment left me to figure out a lot with my damn self."

Some Rap Songs is available for pre-order in a variety of formats here.

In the time since his last album, Earl has shared a handful of standalone tracks including "Balance," "Death Whistles," "Mirror," "Solace" and "Wind in my Sails."
