Eearz

Atlanta rapper Eearz came to attention after producer Mike WiLL Made It discovered him, leading to a deal with the beatmaker’s Eardruma imprint. Born in 1992 and raised in Atlanta, the artist released a handful of independent tracks in 2015 prior to inking with the label. Eardruma put out his first official project, the mixtape Eearz to the Streets, later that year. Containing eight songs and no featured guests, the release instead highlighted high-profile production from Mike WiLL Made It and the Alchemist, who jointly handled the standout cut “Chain Reaction.” The same pair also crafted his 2016 single “Domino Effect,” which preceded two further releases that year, “Ride Shotgun” and “Work Ya Muscle.”
