Rags is EARTHGANG’s debut release on J. Cole’s Dreamville Records, which announced their signing less than a day before this EP’s release. The EP is narrated by DC Young Fly, playing a Lyft driver traveling around Atlanta, Georgia. The EP is the beginning of a trilogy of EPs which connect to create a storyline. “Rags” represents the beginning; the struggle and hardship, the losses, and the perseverance it took for the duo to see the fruits of their labor.
