OpenMikeEagle has had his slovenly hands clasped around a microphone since 1996. Originally from Chicago, he got his start with the all-mighty Phactory Defex/Paradox Crew known all over the city for its cipher-killing emcees, mentally unstable graf artists and slightly above-average breakers. This crew included Psalm One (Rhymesayers), Rift Napalm (Galapgos 4), Anti-Matter Bonecrusher (Cipher Bullies), DJ Aquil (Crib Collective) and OpenMike (Project Blowed) and was a subdivision of the all-city Nacrobats family.

Open made a solo name for himself by destroying people's self-esteem in rap battles in Chicago, St. Louis, and Los Angeles. Now he's ready to let everyone hear from the myriad of voices echoing in his voluminous skull. He's currently working with the Project Blowed family (Aceyalone, Hip-Hop Kclan, Customer Service, and others) in the creation of his own projects and various Blowed offerings to come, lending his energies as a rhyme conjurer and a beatsmith to already sick-to-death collective.

He's also recently completed his solo recording debut entitled, "The FingerBooger EP," featuring Psychosiz of Customer Service (with whom he has formed the duo, Parts Unknown), N/A of the MiddleMen, DumbFoundDead, and Chicago hip-hop stand-out BabbleRock. The project is currently being distributed by Conscious Porn Recordings.

Upcoming projects:
The Meditation Hustle LP
Beets by Open Vol. 1
The UnMixed Tape feat. Parts Unknown
