Brick Body Kids Still Daydream is the response: an alchemic blend of native myth and arcane housing policy. It traces the life cycle of the Robert Taylor Homes, a public housing block on Chicago's south side that was destroyed by governmental shrug ten years ago. "What if somebody just decided to demolish the pyramids now?" he asks in the coffee shop. My laptop is open in front of me, showing the record's cover-Mike as the physical embodiment of a project building. Michael Eagle II was born in the fall of 1980 in Chicago. He was raised at various points by his parents and grandparents; his grandmother's sister had a place in the Robert Taylor Homes. Some of my earliest memories, me being four or five, were in these buildings," he says.

Following his Hella Personal Film Festival project with Paul White last year, Open Mike Eagle returns with Brick Body Kids Still Daydream, his first solo full-length album since 2014’s Dark Comedy. Described as a searingly political record for systolic political times, the album chronicles the life cycle of the Robert Taylor Homes, a housing project on the Southside of Chicago that was demolished ten years ago. And yes, the same projects Kendrick Lamar’s pops came from ( DUCKWORTH ).

Our take on ‘Brick Body Kids Still Daydream,’ the latest from the Chicago-born rapper. By. Christopher R. Weingarten. Motormouthed rapper Open Mike Eagle has gotten raves for albums that explore the comedy of neurosis. His new one, easily his headiest, is a concept LP built around Chicago’s Robert Taylor Homes, a famously mismanaged housing project destroyed 10 years ago. Eagle impressionistically inserts himself into events real and imagined. We live in a space that should have never existed, he raps.

Open Mike Eagle is ready to make his solo return to the music scene, as he is announcing his brand new album due out later this year. The "I Went Outside Today" rapper is slated to drop his Brick Body Kids Still Daydream project on Sept. 15 through Mello Music Group. The Chicago native's new album will feature a total of 12 new tracks, with features from Sammus and Has-Lo.

Tldr (Smithing)' (and arguably 'Brick Body Complex') aside, he's pretty much completely disowned the wordy, punchline- and pop culture reference-heavy style that made Dark Comedy such a success (and still carried much of the weight on last year's Hella Personal Film Festival) in favour of something more melancholy, melody-driven, and nostalgic. This is perhaps his least immediate album yet, but having spent the weekend with it - or, at least, the parts of the weekend not spent at the pub - I can safely say that its hooks are no less memorable.
