Open Mike Eagle: “circuit city”

“circuit city” (ft. still rift and Video Dave) off a tape called component system with the auto reverse

Los Angeles’ Open Mike Eagle is joined by a cast of characters on wry-rapping, anthemic “circuit city.” Video Dave and still rift, to be exact. The flow is vintage West Coast hip hop. The production is so clean it sparkles. And the rhymes flaunt a court jester vibe, a little MF DOOM, a little Beastie Boys. Like what you hear? Hit fast forward and catch still rift and Video Dave guesting in a second spot on “kites.” The track plays around with the epistolary genre á la the Letters of Abelard and Heloise, the Sorrows of Young Werther, and Eminem’s “Stan.”

Illustrious company!
