Meet Errol Eats Everything, an anomaly of sorts, a rap rarity who seamlessly blends traditional boom-bap Hip Hop type beats with ultra razor sharp precision lyricism. Even Errol’s own physical appearance has been somewhat shrouded in mystery, as evidenced by his visuals - taken from his AOTY worthy Furious Evans’ produced self titled debut opus - featuring a gold-grilled alter named Ego.
Let’s hop into this single / video, "Ballad Of The Brutes” featuring Cla’ence Jo — Tell me about this particular track; how did it come to fruition?
“Ballad Of The Brutes” came out of a heavy space; both sonically and spiritually. Furious Evans played me this raw, guitar-laced beat that felt like church and revolution all in one. I knew immediately it wasn’t just another session — it needed a declaration. I let Cla’ence Jo hear it, and he brought that thunder. It’s not just a song — it’s a ritual for the resilient.
Of course "Ballad Of The Brutes" comes courtesy of your latest body of work, Errol Eats Everything -- Conceptually, what does this title represent both to and for you?
Errol Eats Everything ain’t just an album title — it’s my truth. It comes from my insatiable appetite for knowledge. I’ve digested every environment, every trauma, every moment of joy, and turned it into something meaningful. The name represents how I approach life: I consume it all — the good, the brutal, the beautiful…and I turn it into sound. Into something somebody else can feel and heal from.
How then does Errol Eats Everything either differ and / or compare to previous Errol Eats Everything efforts?
This one is sharper. I’m not trying to prove anything anymore — I’m just speaking truth. Older versions of me were still searching for validation, still adjusting for the crowd. This version? I’m writing for the people who already know. The work is more layered, more focused, and more fearless.
Errol Eats Everything is a Big Chune Media project — What particular string of events actually led to this inking?
Big Chune Media is me. It’s my wife. It’s Furious…it’s the circle of visionaries who believed in this movement before anyone else did. We got tired of waiting for someone to “get it.” So we built the house ourselves. Big Chune is a declaration that we don’t need permission to make masterpieces.
Tell me your whole inception into music — When did you first become interested in it? And, how did it all begin for you, Errol Eats Everything?
It started in a Jamaican household — music was always playing, and always loud. My pops blasted records like they were sermons. I’d sneak his vinyls, loop ‘em, and zone out. The moment I flipped that Al Green sample — same one Dilated Peoples used — I knew I had something. “Sometimes I Just Don’t Care” was my first real track, and when the OGs around me gave it love, I was locked in.
Now where exactly do you hail from? And growing up there, who all did / do you consider to be your strongest musical influences?
Born in Jamaican roots. Bounced around a lot — Canada, Vegas, Dallas, New York — but I carry Jamaican culture in my cadence and in my consciousness. My biggest influences? KRS-One, Black Thought, André 3000, and my father’s record collection — soul, reggae, and rebel music.
That said, how do you describe and / or define the style of music that you create and / or perform?
Futuristic boom-bap. Soul-driven hip-hop that feels like time travel. I want the drums to knock like the ‘90’s, but the messaging to speak to 2050. It’s spiritual, intellectual, and raw. Think lo-fi grit, with high-level intent.
As a lyricist when you sit down to pen your rhymes, where do you draw inspiration from?
I don't really write my lyrics down anymore. It's more stream of consciousness after vibing to the beat. I draw inspiration from silence. From pain. From the conversations we’re scared to have. From (Marcus) Garvey speeches to late-night anxiety. From fatherhood, death, Black love, side-eyes in boardrooms, and side streets in Flatbush. I don’t write to impress — I write to survive. John Henrik Clarke is also a major influence.
Where does your moniker originally derive from?
Errol Eats Everything started as a joke, honestly — my people would clown me for devouring food, books, bars, knowledge…life. My homie, Darp, would say my belly runs me. Then it became real. I realized I do eat everything — not to consume it, but to understand it.
Switching gears here, what exactly do you want people to get from your music?
I make music for myself, music I want to hear. People typically don't know what they want. I want them to feel seen. To hear something that reminds them they’re not crazy. That they’re powerful. That they’re worthy. And, I want them to think long-term — not just about the vibe, but about the vision. My music is armor, but it’s also a mirror.
If you could collaborate with any one artist, living or dead, who would it be and why?
Nas and 3 Stacks, no question. Nas has the greatest concepts and 3 Stacks...he’s the blueprint for doing it differently. I’d also love to build with Nina Simone. Her voice carried a whole revolution. My wife is also very talented.
If you could play any venue in the world, which one would you choose and why?
MSG.
On a more serious note, are you happy with the current state of Hip-Hop?
I’m grateful for the platforms we have now. But happy? Nah. Too many followers, not enough leaders. Too much noise, not enough nourishment. Hip-hop is still the most powerful cultural tool on Earth, but we gotta treat it like it is. Stop wasting it.
What do you feel has and will continue to be the key to your longevity?
Integrity. Persistence. Adaptation. I don’t chase relevancy — I build value. I speak truth even when it’s uncomfortable, and I keep learning.
Do you have any other outside / additional (future) aspirations, maybe even completely away from music?
Film, animated series, coaching people on their entrepreneurial endeavors.
To date, what has been your biggest career moment(s), at least thus far anyway?
Dropping Errol Eats Everything, and having my kids vibe to it. That was bigger than any stage. Also touring overseas, and seeing strangers rap my lyrics back to me in another country. That kind of love? You never forget that.
What’s an average day like for you?
I run a few businesses, so the majority of my day goes into those. Music takes up very little time actually. I've become so efficient with the workflow that Furious and I have established that I get to focus on many things.
Please discuss how you interact with and respond to fans...
Furious loves it way more than I do. I kinda love silence and to be left alone, but fans liking your art is incredibly humbling. I also know how it felt to be ignored, so I try to respect everyone and like their comments or respond when I can. If you took the time to message me, repost, or stream a track — I see you. I respond when I can, and I listen. I don’t believe in fake distance. We’re all in this frequency together.
What is your favorite part about this line of work? Your least favorite? And, why?
I love to be creative, but the business side can be annoying. I run a few very successful businesses, and oftentimes people approach me not knowing my pedigree as an entrepreneur. Lots of hustlers and scammers out there.
What advice would you have for someone wanting to follow in your footsteps?
Don’t chase fame — chase function. Learn contracts, know your worth, and never stop sharpening your craft. Oh — and protect your peace. You’re gonna need it.
Looking ahead, say five or maybe even ten years from now, where do you see yourself?
Running a cultural conglomerate that includes media, tech, education, and social impact — powered by art. Still making music, but even more focused on creating platforms for others. I want to be a blueprint, not a bottleneck.
As for the immediate, what's next for Errol Eats Everything?
Blame Furious Evans — a sonically evolved project that’s gonna shake some minds loose. Plus a podcast, some immersive experiences, and more community -level partnerships. We’re scaling the whole EEE universe. We also have a few remixes coming.
Is there anything I left out or just plain forgot to mention?
You covered a lot — I’ll just add: I’m doing this for real. This ain’t performance. It’s purpose. And if you feel it? Welcome home.
Lastly, any “parting” words for our readers?
Don’t let the algorithm define you. Don’t let the system box you. You’re bigger than a feed. You’re part of something ancient and powerful. So eat everything! Peace.
