Open Mike Eagle is the subject of Monday's Marc Maron's legendary WTF podcast where Mike discusses his life, career, and the evolution of indie rap. This follows an acclaimed taping of NPR's "Wits" show in Minneapolis last month with his friend and ally Hannibal Buress.
Please visit http://www.wtfpod.com/podcast/episodes/episode_406_-_mike_eagle to check out the "WTF" podcast.
To coincide with the appearance on "WTF" and the upcoming tour, Open Mike Eagle is releasing a brand new EP - the Frank Black approved Sir Rockabye. The EP's lead track, "Degrassi Picture Day (Hellfyre Jackets)" features Busdriver and production from Kuest 1. "Degrassi Picture Day" will strike a chord with anyone who ever went to school.
