Before he drops off his album in June, Open Mike Eagle decided to release a free 5-track EP to keep his fans moving.
Rent Party Revolution is a song I wrote about and for all the folks I know with hyperactive minds that live in a world that isnt designed to inspire their potential. Its my story of growing up a “smart kid” and being led to believe that that was all I’d ever need to achieve all the things i thought i wanted in life. This EP is an extension of that theme. Its for all the broke nerds out there. i got together with some of my favorite freethinkers (hot sugar, milo, eagle nebula, and more) to make some grown, broke nerd theme musics. lets all get together and over analyze something.
Marq Spekt and Open Mike Eagle join Billy Woods on a non-album cut
To produce the track, woods called on frequent collaborator Willie Green, who also provides the lion’s share of the beats on History Will Absolve Me, and Green answers that call with a truly raucous effort – horns blaring; cymbals ringing; bass rumbling; drums pounding. “We didn’t over-think this one,” explains woods, when asked about the song’s concept, “Our foremost intention was to make a banger. Hopefully we succeeded.”
