Open Mike Eagle is preparing to drop his tenth solo album, Neighborhood Gods Unlimited, on July 11. James Gunn's Superman movie also comes out on July 11. Coincidentally (or perhaps intentionally), the most recent single from OME is titled "my co-worker clark kent's secret black box," and features direct references to the Superman character.
Open Mike Eagle is one of the most consistent rappers alive, and the new track is no different. Mike raps on a lush beat, produced by K-NITE, about a couple of topics. He does it with the flair that only OME can do it with.
The song's first verse is from the point of view of a disgruntled Daily Planet (the newspaper Clark Kent works for) employee. The employee is annoyed that no one except for him can seem to see that Clark is also Superman. People in the office find it to be coincidental that Clark always leaves when villains attack, but the employee sees him for who he really is.
The second verse is about people who give up on their dreams (which OME said himself in the X post promoting the song). He admonishes those who didn't put the effort in. Mike specifically mentions people "writing raps on work time" but not doing anything with them. "You probably parent like Goku [...] your own kids don't know you," he concludes the verse with. It's a funny ending to another quality showing from one of hip-hop's finest. Check out "my co-worker clark kent's secret black box" below.
Quotable Lyrics:
Can't nobody in the office find him
Like it's all just happenstances
That whеnever he go back to Kansas
And thеse aliens attack Manhattan
And the person that defends the island
It's him—without the hat and glasses
Starting now and continuing until he decides otherwise, Lil Baby plans to roll out a brand new track every Wednesday. The previous week, he came through with a smooth record titled "Try To Love," but today he switched things up by delivering something with more bite and intensity. His latest drop is called "Otha Boy," and it already feels like a song that could take off. When you compare this release to some of his recent work, Lil Baby sounds noticeably more self-assured. You can hear a renewed sense of confidence in his voice.
It almost brings back memories of the Lil Baby era that had crowds stunned during 2020 and 2021. For longtime listeners, that is an exciting shift, and it makes you wonder how he plans to keep this rhythm going as the weeks pass. Fans will definitely be watching closely to see whether he can maintain this spark through the rest of his weekly releases.
