ig Daddy Earl describes his own style as unique. “Today, my music sounds like something that you would hear in 2020 or 2021. It doesn’t sound like something that you would hear a couple of years ago. Everything sounds fresh.” He is animated, topical, and able to tackle a range of moods with ease. His music evolves with the times, adapting and growing as he works with new artists and explores new sounds. He writes what he calls reality lyrics, speaking openly about being a father, going through ups and downs, and speaking to the current generation. With their studio set up in Madison, Earl has had an up front view of the BLM movement happening in the state and at the capitol.e subject of police brutality is one that he has tackled before in his music. In 2014, Big Daddy Earl released a song called “Big Mike Brown”. In the lyrics he talks about Michael Brown, Jr, an 18-year old black man killed by an ocer in Ferguson, Missouri. Earl talks about police
brutality with emotion, and how it aects his young boys. He reects, “I don’t try to block out any stu from them. I like them to know exactly what’s going on. So we have conversations.ey know the rights and wrongs of what they can do as far as staying away from trouble and all of that type of stu. But it’s sad to have to have a conversation to tell your kids that, you know, you have to be a certain way around police ocers that are supposed to be there to help you.” Earl talked a bit more about the solutions he’d like to see for
his boys as the world evolves. He says, “(ocers are) getting sent out to neighborhoods that they don’t know anybody yet. I think that that’s a big issue because a lot of times they are put in a position where they think all black males are criminals and they think all black males are going to harm them, which is not true. So they’re always on the fence coming into a black neighborhood, being white.ey’re not really knowing, really educated on how black people really are...I think that will help a lot to have police ocers that actually are involved in the community, know people in the community that they patrol or, they know what’s going on in the neighborhood.” He further expressed his feelings that it is important to address racism, intentional and accidental, throughout our communities with education and coming together. Big Daddy Earl’s latest album was released in July. Since then he has still been hard at work, promoting other artists and growing MonstaClick Entertainment. He is proud of the diversity of backgrounds and styles he’s put together with his artists and is eager to be a resource for other artists looking to get into the music scene. “I help artists become what they want to be and just put them in positions to where they can succeed.at’s my whole goal... taking it to the next level.” BigDaddyEarl’s latestalbum“Bars FromThe Basement”andothermusiccanbe foundon YouTube,Spotify,AppleMusic,and iHeartRadio.
