Open Mike Eagle has announced a new album.
'Another Triumph Of Ghetto Engineering' will arrive on August 25 via Auto Reverse and feature the newly shared lead single, WFLD 32, a collaboration with Still Rift, Video Dave and Eshu Tune, Hannibal Buress' rap alter-ego.
The track unfurls over Kenny Segal's hazy, lo-fi production, which incorporates downtempo piano and horn loops. Press play below, alongside the record's cover art and tracklist, which also features guest appearances from Young Zee and Blu.
Of the new release, Eagle said: "In the ghetto, we never stop toiling! These songs are all fancy ways of saying 'fuck you' to people that ignore us and 'thank you' to people that care if we live or die! Pay close attention to the song titles! This is another triumph of ghetto engineering! I took that cover photo. That's my mama’s hand!"
The underground rapper is currently touring the US supporting AJJ, with shows lined up through to early September.
