Speaking about that process, Mike reflects, \u201cOne project I always come back to is a concept called Dark Comedy Television. It\u2019s a show about a cable network that can only afford to be on the air for an hour a week so it has to fit its entire slate of programs in that hour.\u201d Inspired by dramas like\u00a0Get Out\u00a0or\u00a0Sorry to Bother You, which are stories that engage in big conversations around the trauma of marginalized peoples, and later by the surrealism of Boots Riley\u2019s\u00a0I\u2019m A Virgo, Mike began to develop\u00a0Neighborhood Gods Unlimited.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Mike continues, \u201cThe trauma at the center of \u2018Neighborhood Gods Unlimited\u2019 is mine. I was shattered as a young person and I spent the majority of my life not knowing it. In my ignorance I would go on to shatter myself even further because it was all I knew. This is a story about how people who are trying to find themselves get confused when they encounter things that remind them of themselves.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In light of the harsh realities that new series often face in the television industry, Mike decided to transform his concept into music, partly as a cathartic process. As Mike says, \u201cIt felt good to make and sometimes TV forces you to abandon things you\u2019ve put your heart into. If that had happened with a project around this particular subject matter, it would have been bad for my mental health.\u201d The ensuing album contains an opening theme, flashbacks, a climax and even some commercials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Mike launches his tour in his adopted hometown of Los Angeles, CA today, July 9 before traversing the country and culminating in an August 16th show in Washington, DC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt Hip Hop Magizine News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"9431463036\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Currently performing on his headline North American tour, rapper Open Mike Eagle, returns with his new single \u201cmy co-worker clark<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[60],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32830","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Open Mike Eagle \u2013 \u201cMy Co-Worker\u201d - New hip hop from Open Mike Eagle - Hip Hop News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/site.itshrt.com\/hiphopmagizine\/open-mike-eagle-my-co-worker-new-hip-hop-from-open-mike-eagle\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Open Mike Eagle \u2013 \u201cMy Co-Worker\u201d - New hip hop from Open Mike Eagle - Hip Hop News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Currently performing on his headline North American tour, rapper Open Mike Eagle, returns with his new single \u201cmy co-worker clark\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/site.itshrt.com\/hiphopmagizine\/open-mike-eagle-my-co-worker-new-hip-hop-from-open-mike-eagle\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Hip Hop News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-07-09T17:43:10+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"News\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"News\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/site.itshrt.com\/hiphopmagizine\/open-mike-eagle-my-co-worker-new-hip-hop-from-open-mike-eagle\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/site.itshrt.com\/hiphopmagizine\/open-mike-eagle-my-co-worker-new-hip-hop-from-open-mike-eagle\/\",\"name\":\"Open Mike Eagle \u2013 \u201cMy Co-Worker\u201d - New hip hop from Open Mike Eagle - Hip Hop News\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/site.itshrt.com\/hiphopmagizine\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2025-07-09T17:43:10+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-07-09T17:43:10+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/site.itshrt.com\/hiphopmagizine\/#\/schema\/person\/1d8ae7348e048cb7984f26b4dd818ff2\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/site.itshrt.com\/hiphopmagizine\/open-mike-eagle-my-co-worker-new-hip-hop-from-open-mike-eagle\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/site.itshrt.com\/hiphopmagizine\/open-mike-eagle-my-co-worker-new-hip-hop-from-open-mike-eagle\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/site.itshrt.com\/hiphopmagizine\/open-mike-eagle-my-co-worker-new-hip-hop-from-open-mike-eagle\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/site.itshrt.com\/hiphopmagizine\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Open Mike Eagle \u2013 \u201cMy Co-Worker\u201d &#8211;
