DE LA SOUL - 25 YEARS OF HIP-HOP
GUESTLIST RECOMMENDS
OPEN MIKE EAGLE
Referencing cult 90s show Twin Peaks on his new album, Open Mike Eagle is not
your standard rapper.
Open Mike Eagle has been working on his craft, both in
collectives and individually, but 2014 is his time to soar.
He's part of rap collectives Project Blowed, Thirsty Fish
and Swim Team but he swims away from water-related
projects to release his own album this year – Dark Com-
edy through Mello Music Group. Channelling his brand of
smart, arty rap, he's a welcome breeze of fresh air when so
many rappers are overusing trap instrumentals and talk-
ing about "big booty hoes". He's more interested in ref-
erencing Batman director Christopher Nolan and Stanley
Kubrick so if you enjoy pop culture references, this is the
rapper for you.Y
