Mike is nice. That’s all I got. Don’t listen to Earl that much. They work together though so 
earl sounds like MIKE. like @FukyourFort said, he took a lot of inspiration from MIKE when they started working together around 2016. but earl also gave him a lot of game on the industry and music-making.

Earl was around for mad years before MIKE.
MIKE always talked about how he got started and was inspired by Tyler and Earl. By the time he met Earl, Earl was almost 10 years into his career. But he always says that Earl is his favorite rapper and that Earl is his mentor and taught him how to express himself. He's dude's student. They're both dope, but he credits Earl for his style and expression.
