Chicago born-and-raised Open Mike Eagle spread his wings and moved to sunny LA shortly after graduating college. There he joined the open-mic workshop Project Blowed and began his career in alternative hip hop, recording his own beats and touring with Busdriver, Aceyalone, Abstract Rude, and Nocando, among others. Open Mike Eagle’s most recent album, Dark Comedy, is revered for the way it’s infectious melodies portray the failure of Karl Marx’s Proletariat Revolution through ingenious melodies and playful sarcasm.

Brooklyn native Junglepussy’s first mixtape, “Satisfaction Gauranteed” gaurnered quite a bit of attention from hip hop leading ladies Erykah Badu, Nicki Minaj, and Lil’ Kim in 2014. Her first full length album, Pregnant with Success, came out the following year and was met with critical aclaim for the way she manages to address the heavy-handed topics of sexuality and femininity with humor and self-love.
