AJJ with Open Mike Eagle
The Burl 375 Thompson Road, Lexington, Kentucky 40508
According to Paste magazine, “‘Disposable Everything’ is the perfect sonic amalgam of what AJJ has been and could always be. In a splendid fusion of acoustic rock grandeur, jazz archetypes and stringed harmonies, the band ascends to new heights with an admirable composure.” Los Angeles-based emcee, comedian and podcaster Open Mike Eagle coined the term “art rap” to describe his literate style of hip-hop, which draws inspiration from Freestyle Fellowship and De La Soul as well as They Might Be Giants and Pavement.
