  2. Open Mike Eagle, the Former Obfuscating Mike Eagle

    Open Mike Eagle, the Former Obfuscating Mike Eagle

    Issues of depression and anxiety have been present in Open Mike Eagle's raps for a long time. His most played track on Spotify is "Ziggy Starfish (Anxiety Raps)" and it's from 2015. Mike has always been more prone to self-effacement and worry than to the boasting and swagger you might find in other hip-hop artists. But after a year that saw him lose his tv show, his touring income, his marriage, and his home, Mike became more open than ever before and hit record on all of it. His album, Anime, Trauma and Divorce, touches on his experiences and the psychological narratives of his life.  Listen to or buy your copy of Anime, Trauma, and Divorce here.
