Hailing from Chicago but now living in LA Open Mike Eagle is will release his latest album “Brick Body Kids Still Daydream” tomorrow and will head out on tour to promote it. That tour will bring him to First Avenue’s 7th Street Entry on 9/24. Tickets are still available HERE
Supporting him will be Philly rapper Sammus
His latest single ‘Brick Body Complex’ is a powerful statement made through incensed verses and potent visuals. It introduces the character of “Iron Hood,” a super-powered protector of Chicago’s Robert Taylor Homes, a public housing project that displaced thousands of residents when it was torn down a decade ago. In this video, Iron Hood, played by Open Mike Eagle, leaps into action against a mysterious masked villain representing the forces of gentrification.
