Issues of depression and anxiety have been present in Open Mike Eagle's raps for a long time. His most played track on Spotify is "Ziggy Starfish (Anxiety Raps)" and it's from 2015. Mike has always been more prone to self-effacement and worry than to the boasting and swagger you might find in other hip-hop artists. But after a year that saw him lose his tv show, his touring income, his marriage, and his home, Mike became more open than ever before and hit record on all of it. His album, Anime, Trauma and Divorce, touches on his experiences and the psychological narratives of his life.

Happy Birthday BG!

On today's episode of the Shonen Tapes Podcast, the guys celebrate Brandon’s  Birthday in the only way they know how, by holding a competition.

At the end of each round, the winner of the round gets a point, and the person with the most points wins the competition. Who knows Brandon’s  music tastes the best? Sean is the clear favorite to win but it’s sounding like Kevin wants the smoke! Who will be victorious? You will have to tune in to find out. Make sure to let us know how you feel about this episode on all forms of social media.
