Normally we upload new episodes of the podcast on Sundays, but this week we didn’t even start recording this fucker until Sunday night! So, what can you expect from this very special Tuesday night edition of the Clandestine Transmission you might be asking? Your hosts El Keter and Emeyesi play[…]
Serengeti and Open Mike Eagle go all Colecovision on our asses in their new low-tech animated video for “Zorak” from their recent Cavanaugh collaborative project. The debut album from Mike and ‘Geti as Cavanaugh, ‘Time & Materials’, is out now via the Mello Music Group label. Cavanaugh
Two of my favorite rappers, Serengeti and Open Mike Eagle, have teamed up as Cavanaugh to ‘Time and Materials’, record an album about two maintenance workers at a Florida housing development. I’m down with that shit. The Open Mike Eagle-produced “Screen Play”, which features Mike and ‘Geti in classic form[…]

Art-Rap hero Open Mike Eagle is in top form on “Dark Comedy Late Show”, the Exile-produced remix of ‘Dark Comedy’ album opener “Dark Comedy Morning Show”.
