About Open Mike Eagle

Chicago, IL, United States
Born
November 14, 1980
Genre
Hip-Hop/Rap
Los Angeles-based emcee, comedian, and podcaster Open Mike Eagle coined the term "art rap" to describe his whip-smart, literate style of hip-hop, which draws inspiration from Freestyle Fellowship and De La Soul as well as They Might Be Giants and Pavement. A longtime affiliate of the influential Project Blowed collective, he made his solo debut with 2010's Unapologetic Art Rap, a humorous set of reflections on everyday life. He maintained a prolific pace throughout the decade and beyond, receiving acclaim for autobiographical releases like Brick Body Kids Still Daydream (2017) while additionally becoming a respected figure in the comedy world, co-hosting several podcasts as well as the Comedy Central series The New Negroes. With 2020's Anime, Trauma and Divorce, he continued to use his music as an outlet to process personal issues. A much rawer, mixtape-style release titled Component System with the Auto Reverse appeared in 2022.
Open Mike Eagle has also released music as a member of Previous Industries, Cavanaugh Thirsty Fish.
