In the 97^th edition of Bangerz N Bopz 🔥 (2025), we break down “WELL DONE!” performed by Earl Sweatshirt.

“Bells run / Sent the mail up high to the sky home that I feel from.” Throughout the brief but potent “WELL DONE!”, rapper Earl Sweatshirt brings the heat. “WELL DONE!” is the fifth track from his 2025 album, Live Laugh Love. Produced by Navy Blue, the music backdrop is unique and unorthodox.  That is part of the charm, matching Earl Sweatshirt’s distinct, instantly recognizable rapping. His cadence and flow are electrifying over the course of one verse.  Although “WELL DONE!” only runs a minute and change, Earl drops some poetic, thought-provoking bars.  There is no shortage of striking lyrics, including those excerpted above.

“Tailspun outta binds, baptized in the fires of flaw and failures,” he spits fiercely, making a spiritual and biblical reference.  He also references bread (“Tough like rye or spelt”) and, surprisingly, constellations (“Orion-sized heavyweight titles on the belt, son”).  One of the best lines uses a high school honors English word, maelstrom: “Flying in on the wide eye of the maelstrom, wild side that I hail from.” Ooh-wee, Earl! Dropping one last banger, he spits, “Mining through myself, gumboots / The bottom started to melt some, I felt stuck / Steel-cut knives showing the shield love / Spill blood.” There is no doubt in my mind that this succinct rap cut is well done.  Appreciate this underrated man for his skills in the rap game!
