Open Mike Eagle & Paul White Feat Aesop Rock - I Went Outside Today

Review by Judy Tuan

The collaborative effort of Open Mike Eagle and Paul White on their album I Went Outside Today is an impressive display of creativity and lyricism. Featuring the legendary Aesop Rock, the album is a blend of abstract beats and introspective lyrics.

From the opening track "Admitting the Endorphin Addiction," the album sets a tone of introspection and self-awareness. Each track is a journey through the mind of the artists, exploring their struggles with mental health, society, and personal relationships.

The production by Paul White is masterful, with each beat providing a unique soundscape for the lyrics to flow over. The use of samples, synths, and live instruments creates a dynamic and constantly evolving musical landscape.

Open Mike Eagle's signature flow and wordplay are on full display, with his lyrics ranging from humorous to poignant. Aesop Rock's guest appearances add an extra layer of depth to the album, with his intricate rhymes and abstract imagery.

Summary by Judy Tuan

I Went Outside Today is a must-listen for fans of alternative hip-hop and experimental music. The combination of Open Mike Eagle and Paul White's talents, along with Aesop Rock's contributions, make for a truly unique and engaging listening experience.
