RIP Eyedea



Another death has hit the Hip Hop game as Rhymesayers MC Eyedea has passed away. He was only 28 years old. Although his latest release By The Throat was a disappointing effort in my eyes (I don't know why, it may be label pressure, but some white MCs seem to gravitate to "alternative/emo/mash up" delivery and style in their later releases, and this album seemed to border on that) their second release E & A was on steady rotation a few years back. Eyedea cut his teeth at an early age in battles and cyphers and when matched with Abilities' beats the result was a rpid fire precise effort. A definite highlight was "Now" which even made it on the SG Summer Beers mix a couple summers back. RIP.
