Open Mike Eagle performs live, sharing his journey from finding comedy in rap music and American nightmares to profound self-reflection. Spending the 2010s defining art rap—Eagle delivered hilarious socio-political insights on albums like Dark Comedy and Brick Body Kids Still Daydream coinciding with top-billing at Adult Swim Festival and co-founding The New Negroes (a stand up-meets-music variety show brought to Comedy Central). On Anime, Trauma, and Divorce, his first full-length album on Auto Reverse, Eagle probes the darkness of his past to chart a path forward. This is the powerful sound of a man actively rebuilding his life, choosing vulnerability over the humour that would no longer serve as a cure. The performance showcases the sharp lyricism and vital evolution of the genre’s premier art rap pioneer.
