My guest for the 200th episode of Reel Notes is California-via-Chicago rapper, producer, writer, creator of The New Negroes, founder of Auto Reverse Records and Stony Island Audio—Open Mike Eagle. We spoke about the pros and cons of independent music and journalism, the films of Ari Aster, Spike Lee, Wes Anderson, Paul Thomas Anderson, and the MCU, how Nirvana and Ol’ Dirty Bastard kicked off his deep dive into music, finding himself in Project Blowed, surviving and thriving in a do-it-yourself world, and the creative process behind his latest album Neighborhood Gods Unlimited. Thank y’all so much for fuckin’ with us for 200 episodes. Hope you enjoy :)
Neighborhood Gods Unlimited will be out everywhere music is sold, streamed, or stolen on Friday July 11. Consider buying it on Mike's Bandcamp. Follow Mike on Instagram (@open_mike_eagle), Twitter (@mike_eagle), TikTok (@openmikeeagle0), and Twitch (@open_mike_eagle).
