If you haven't heard of rapper Open Mike Eagle, chances are your favorite comedian has. With high praise from Paul F. Tompkins, Marc Maron and his good friend Hannibal Buress, the Los Angeles-based, Chicago-raised artist raps like he's performing a stand-up set. He takes his anxieties and his acidic, pop culture-focused wit and makes songs that can be simultaneously funny, enlightening and dark. When he rapped "For those who haven't heard of me / I'm bad at sarcasm so I work in absurdity" on his song "Dark Comedy Morning Show," he provided the perfect introduction to his weird and heady world.
