Product Description

Open Mike Eagle's newest album is a masterpiece mural drawn in sidewalk chalk. Entitled ''Brick Body Kids Still Daydream,'' the album addresses gentrification, culture and family. A multi-talented performer, the comedian, artist and rapper approaches music with a postmodern approach, making the audience look at themselves through the lens of his art. Open Mike Eagle's last solo album release, 2014's ''Dark Comedy'' was included on SPIN and Rolling Stone's Best Rap Albums of 2014 list and was called one of the most compelling indie-rap listens of the year by Pitchfork. In 2016 he released ''Hella Personal Film Festival'' with Paul White (Charli XCX, Danny Brown). The art rap MC, film/TV writer, podcast host and comedian polymath has also appeared on Marc Maron's ''WTF'' podcast and the Eric Andre Show, and has performed with Thundercat and Flying Lotus on Hannibal Buress' Comedy Central series.

Review

''One of the most compelling indie-rap listens'' ----Pitchfork

Motor-mouthed rapper Open Mike Eagle has gotten raves for albums that explore the comedy of neurosis. His new one, easily his headiest, is a concept LP built around Chicago's Robert Taylor Homes, a famously mismanaged housing project destroyed 10 years ago. Eagle impressionistically inserts himself into events real and imagined. ''We live in a space that should have never existed,'' he raps. The results add a historical angle to hip-hop's powerful mix of the personal and political. ----Christopher R. Weingarten, Rolling Stone
