When The Music Hits, It Slips Out Of Place: Earthgang Drops ‘Wheel Of Fate’

by Brendan M. Allen

What starts as a search for a new sound quickly turns into something they can’t control. 

Earthgang, composed of Olu and WowGr8, is known for a genre-fluid sound and sharp lyricism that continues to push hip-hop beyond its expected edges, duo EarthGang has built a dedicated following through projects like Mirrorland and Ghetto Gods. They blend 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 and brought to life by artists Julianne Grieppe and Alex Heywood, Wheel of Fate moves like a record in flux, drifting between street-level movement and mounting cosmic pressure, where rhythm shapes the story and perception is never fixed.

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?

Afrofuturist world-building combines 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.
