After making the move to Los Angeles in 2004, Open Mike Eagle promptly began establishing himself in the underground hip-hop scene. Most notably, he joined the Project Blowed collective, which is known for its fiery, freestyle-friendly MCs who like to mix in a hint of artsy attitude. Keeping the latter in mind, it's no surprise Eagle dubbed his full-length debut, the honest and edgy Unapologetic Art Rap. And he's teamed up with like-minded rappers such as Nocando, Busdriver, and Alpha MC to up the experimental vibes created by producers Maestro, Exile, and Alwayz Prolific.
