Open Mike Eagle has finally come out with his follow-up to his 2022 project, Component System with the Auto Reverse.

It is a 25-minute, nine-song effort that comes after the release of the lead single to this project called "WFLD 32." Arguably the best song on here, The beat is dreamy, and woozy, putting you in a state of relaxation.
What is also enjoyable about this LP is the funny lines peppered throughout. On the second track "BET's rap city," guest rapper Young Zee drops one of the most questionable but hilarious bars that will make you laugh out loud. He raps, "I got fans like R Kelly, please pee on me." However, the album does a great job of combining different subgenres such as soul, conscious hip-hop, lo-fi, jazz, and more. Open Mike Eagle has a creative and colorful project on his hands with this one.
