Just Dropped: EARTHGANG—WHEEL OF FATE

APR. 14, 2026 (PORTLAND, OR) — What starts as a search for a new sound quickly turns into something they can’t control.

Known for a genre-fluid sound and sharp lyricism that continues to push hip-hop beyond its expected edges, ARIA Music Award-winning and Grammy-nominated hip-hop duo EarthGang has built a dedicated following through projects like Mirrorland and Ghetto Gods, blending Southern roots with forward-thinking production and a creative vision that moves across mediums.

Just dropped from Zero Zero Entertainment, EARTHGANG—WHEEL OF FATE introduces the duo’s first comic project, expanding their world into a story-driven release supported by an exclusive merchandise drop. The result is a fully realized extension of their work, moving between music, image, and something less defined.

Written by EarthGang (Olu & WowGr8) and brought to life by artists Julianne Grieppe and Alex Heywood, EarthGang—Wheel of Fatemoves like a record in flux, drifting between street-level movement and mounting cosmic pressure, where rhythm shapes the story and perception is never fixed.

Reflecting on the collaboration, Olu kept it simple:“Man, this is the greatest animation storytelling we’ve been a part of!”

Their work continues to evolve beyond music, building interconnected worlds that carry the same depth, intention, and unpredictability across everything.

Run it back, here’s the story:

In Tokyo, EARTHGANG arrives chasing inspiration, recording inside a centuries-old temple where the music starts to shift, pulling from something ancient and unfamiliar. As reality begins to fracture and a shared vision reveals that the cosmic Wheel of Fate is under attack, they learn the threat is something born from the digital world itself, a sentient AI built from humanity’s worst impulses. Moving between hidden shrines and high-tech systems, they discover their music can bridge worlds, leading to a final ritual performance that disrupts the force feeding on human attention. When the noise settles and the world resets, one question lingers: Did anything actually change, or is the cycle already starting again?

EarthGang—Wheel of Fate combines Afrofuturist world-building with reality-bending stakes and a visual language designed to stand out on any shelf. Built directly from EarthGang’s creative vision, the project taps into the growing appetite for music-adjacent comics, extending the experience beyond the page through an exclusive limited merch drop.

The drop rolls out across multiple tiers, from Issue #1 bundled with a patch and pin to a signed variant cover limited to 500 copies, and a premium vinyl variant bundle capped at 150. A discounted 4-issue subscription will also be available for those looking to follow the full series.

EarthGang is an American hip-hop duo from Atlanta, Georgia, composed of Olu and WowGr8. They are co-founders of the musical collective Spillage Village, with JID, Hollywood JB, JordxnBryant, 6lack, Mereba, and Benji. Formed in 2008, EarthGang released their first EP, The Better Party, in 2010
