It's every troublesome misunderstanding of a half-decade relationship distorted and stretched into an absurdist black comedy mini-series on wax. It's the sound of every fight we ever had, playing simultaneously. It's several consecutive voice notes that you did not listen to, and instead read the transcription. It's fifteen songs from iconoclastic rapper Mike Eagle and innovative producer Kenny Segal. It's the world's first half-whimsical break-up album. It's DOOMED!It's also LA. Maybe not first and foremost, but Los Angeles runs deep in this record's present, and it's lineage. The story of any big city is also one of transplants. DJ Premier in New York, Tupac in California. If you build it, they will come. Mike and Kenny both arrived in LA as young, aspiring artists who were drawn to the scene around groundbreaking rap crew Project Blowed. They have been friends-and occasional collaborators-for almost twenty years. Despite that, DOOMED! Is the first time the two have put together a full body of work. But everything happens in it's time, and fate worked to bring them together at the exact moment that would allow the duo to create something extraordinary. Mike, fresh off a string of multi-producer records and processing the end of a tumultuous relationship, was in need of creative catharsis. Meanwhile, Kenny had locked in on his next challenge after a recent string of critically acclaimed collaborations not only with rappers like billy woods, and K-the-I?, but also jazz trio Human Error Club and bluesy indie rocker Benjamin Booker.\"In recent years, Kenny made it very clear that he wasn't trying to keep having one or two beats on my projects; he wanted to build something,\" Open Mike Eagle explains. \"I was able to convince him to let me use a couple beats for Neighborhood Gods Unlimited with the caveat that we would focus on our thing next. Then my relationship fell apart right when we started working, and it was like, 'Perfect, I have a lot to say about this.'\"Here are some more particularly interesting insights from the man himself: \"If DOOMED! Is prestige TV, then think of \"Out To Lunch\" as the pilot where we meet a man who's not all there because his head is still in yesterday, and the following as a brief synopsis.There's a song that starts at an argument about the color of a rental car.There's a song about trying to write a pair of lovers' initials in wet concrete and the stick breaking.There's a song that's a prayer about finding the strength not to look at my ex's social media.There's a song about a character from Adventure Time who's a piece of shit that I identify with.Each vision is a crashed airplane halfway on the border of dream and nightmare, bitter and sweet, sadness and freedom.Every one of Kenny's beats is a chunk of ore from a different comet. I used each one as a canvas to paint my impression of a dead world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOut to Lunch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStreets of Rage: Public Arguments Edition Gothic Tropic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoomed!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnfinished Concrete Initials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Go Look (Battleworld Focus Prayer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe Swear I'm Colorblind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScience Fiction\/Fantasy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Irredeemable Magic Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Many Hustles of My Lonely Time Traveling Uncle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrying to Remember What I Aimed at\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchrödinger's Green Room (There But Uninvited)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt Happens in Every Universe (Interlude)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweetheart Jail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInfinity War Spoilers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWatching a Movie Called Freedom By Myself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 850063560634\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rhymesayers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.14.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53305087394092,"sku":"850063560634","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0863\/2257\/7708\/files\/4521378-3616909.jpg?v=1781109792","url":"https:\/\/joseyrecords.com\/es\/products\/pre-order-open-mike-eagle-segal-kenny-doomed-cd","provider":"Josey Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
