SUMMARY:Open Mike Eagle w/ Kenny Segal
LOCATION:Songbyrd
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday October 13th\n\nOpen Mike Eagle w/ Kenny Segal and Dice
  Raw\n\n\\*\\*\\*\n\nOpen Mike Eagle spent the 2010s finding comedy in rap
  music and American nightmares. On albums like Brick Body Kids Still Daydr
 eam and Dark Comedy\, he delivered hilarious socio-political insights via 
 half-sung verses laid atop progressive production. Acclaim from publicatio
 ns like Pitchfork\, Rolling Stone\, and NPR coincided with headlining solo
  tours and top-billing at events like Adult Swim Festival. Between studio 
 sessions\, Eagle co- founded The New Negroes\, a standup-meets-music varie
 ty show that explores perceptions of Blackness. He and co-founder Baron Va
 ughn brought the show to Upright Citizens Brigade\, Comedy Central\, and v
 enues around the U.S.\n\nWith over a dozen solo and collaborative projects
  to his name\, Eagle has spent his career redefining and expanding the par
 ameters of “art rap\,” the term he coined as a shorthand for leftfield
  and avant-garde rap music. On Dark Comedy\, he chronicled everything from
  smartphone addiction to the realities of being an indie artist in the str
 eaming era with self- deprecation and side-splitting absurdity. 2017’s B
 rick Body Kids Still Daydream marked Eagle’s shift toward examining trau
 ma\, wading through the rubble of Chicago’s demolished Robert Taylor Hom
 es\, where several family members once lived.\n\nAnime\, Trauma\, and Divo
 rce\, his first full-length album on Auto Reverse Records\, was among the 
 most personal projects of his career. Neighborhood Gods Unlimited expanded
  that autobiographical and surrealist language further\, turning an unreal
 ized television concept into an album with an opening theme\, flashbacks\,
  a climax\, and commercials.\n\n\\*\\*\\*\n\nKenny Segal is a Los Angeles-
 based producer\, composer\, and multi-instrumentalist whose work has helpe
 d shape some of the most adventurous corners of independent rap and experi
 mental music. A longtime fixture of LA’s underground\, Segal has built a
  reputation for productions that feel tactile\, strange\, melodic\, and de
 eply lived-in. His recent collaborations span acclaimed projects with rapp
 ers including billy woods and K-the-I???\, as well as work with jazz trio 
 Human Error Club and bluesy indie rocker Benjamin Booker. On DOOMED!\, Seg
 al brings that full range into focus\, constructing a singular sonic world
  around Mike Eagle’s fractured romantic postmortem.\n\n\\*\\*\\*\n\nFor 
 the last three decades\, his writing has worked outward\, toward character
 s\, city\, and audience—words he knew somebody else would be performing 
 on stage or recording. The artist\, and there are many names for him\, is 
 Karl Jenkins\, a hip-hop theater practitioner and MC from Philadelphia\, k
 nown as one of the illest and underrated MCs\, Dice Raw. Beyond as The Roo
 ts’ affiliate\, The Insanity Project inverts the instrument. The languag
 e goes inward\, at his family\, at his head\, at the neighborhood that rai
 sed him\, at a violence that’s never entirely a metaphor. The rich mater
 ial here\, like the frightening material\, is true\, and he’s giving it 
 equal weight.\n\nBoletos: https://dice.fm/event/6dobo3-open-mike-eagle-w-k
