Open Mike Eagle Announces Component System With the Auto Reverse, Shares New Song

Open Mike Eagle Announces Component System With the Auto Reverse, Shares New Song

Open Mike Eagle has announced a new project titled Component System With the Auto Reverse. It’s due October 7 via his own label Auto Reverse Records. In anticipation of its release, Open Mike Eagle has shared the new song “I’ll Fight You,” produced by Diamond D. Check it out below.

Component System With the Auto Reverse spans 14 tracks in total, including the previously released singles “Burner Account” (with Armand Hammer) and “Multi-Game Arcade Cabinet,” featuring R.A.P. Fererria, Still Rift, and Video Dave. It also lists a track called “For Doom,” which shares a title with his 2021 freestyle in honor of the late rapper. The record includes a range of other guest producers, as well, including Madlib, Quelle Chris, Child Actor, Kuest1, and Illingsworth.

Open Mike Eagle is referring to his new full-length as a tape. In a statement, he explained that it’s meant to emulate the random order of the cassette mixtapes he made in the late 1990s: 

When I was in high school I used to stay up late to tape the hip-hop shows on college radio station WHPK on the South Side of Chicago. it was the only way to hear the underground rap songs that changed my world. I still have many of the cassettes, with songs by giants like MF Doom, DITC, Outsidaz, All Natural, Juggaknots, Organized Konfusion and more.

I named each tape. I named one Component System. This album was made in the spirit of that tape but with new music from me. Some of the people on the original tape appear on this album, I’m so proud of that that it brings me close to tears.

Open Mike Eagle shared Anime, Trauma and Divorce in 2020. Revisit “Open Mike Eagle on the Economics of Being an Indie Rapper” on the Pitch.
