Rest In Peace Micheal “Eyedea” Larsen0
Posted by - In Events, Music
It’s a sad day in hip hop. Earlier today I went to go get groceries for the week and picked up “Zombieland” from FYE. Normal, chill Sunday. I got home, sat on the couch, and hit up Twitter on my phone. I began scrolling down my timeline only to see about 7 “RIP Eyedea” tweets. Whaaaaaaaaaat? No way. I was in disbelief at first because, well, it’s Twitter. Can’t believe that kinda shit on there right away. A little more time passed and I still kept seeing more of those tweets. And what hit the hammer on the nail was when I saw that Eyedea’s mom confirmed the tragic news.
It is with great pain and sadness that I tell you my son Mikey (Eyedea) has passed away.

Maaaaaaaaaaan…
Atmosphere, Aesop Rock, and Eyedea were who I was first listening to that got me into underground hip hop back in 2000. Hearing about this was sad for me. Definitely bringing out all my E&A albums and bumping them all day. Eyedea was a really dope lyricist and battle rapper. And although he’s gone now, his music and spirit will still be around…
Rest In Peace Micheal “Eyedea” Larsen
