Playing Possum (feat. Cheryl Harris & Keorapetse Kgositsile)

About Playing Possum (feat. Cheryl Harris & Keorapetse Kgositsile)

“Playing Possum,” features sample recordings of his mother speaking about him and audio of his father reading his poem “Anguish Longer Than Sorrow.” The addition of both his parents to the album was intended to be a surprise that he’d planned – as a conciliatory gesture, but tragedy struck again when Keorapetse (Bra Willie) Kgositsile passed away on January 3rd 2018, before Earl got a chance to send him the album. Keorapetse Kgositsile reciting his poem @poesiefestival in Berlin 2009. .
