Rap in the Right Direction
October 16th marked the two year anniversary of the loss of esteemed emcee ‘Eyedea’ from the group Eyedea and Abilities. Michael Larson (Eyedea), passed away in his sleep from an accidental overdose, on a drug which was not released to the public.
Eyedea was known for his wit, charm, and insightful spin on the world around him. A poet by trade, Eyedea rapped about bouts with depression, heartbreak, addiction, and philosophies of life. I encourage you all to give a few of his tracks a listen. His unparalleled intensity, wisdom, and wordplay bring me back hope for the direction of hip hop culture. There are many artists like him, however, none that could match his talent.
