Open Mike Eagle and producer Kenny Segal have turned nearly two decades of friendship and occasional collaboration into their first full-length joint album, DOOMED!, released through Backwoodz Studioz.
The 15-track project is framed as a breakup record with a characteristically strange conceptual twist: the relationship appears to fail in every possible universe.
That setup gives Open Mike Eagle room for conversational humour, anxious self-analysis and absurdist detail, while Segal supplies warm, off-center production that breathes with the lyrics.
“Unfinished Concrete Initials” features Hemlock Ernst (Samuel T. Herring of Future Islands), while billy woods also appears, cementing independent rap as one of the most fertile corners of the indie ecosystem.
