This past Saturday Rhymesayers stalwart Micheal "Eyedea" Larsen was found dead just shy of his 29th birthday. A hip hop artist who was renown as a battle MC specialist (many consider him one of the best of all time and videoclips are all over YouTube if you're interested) is believed to have succumbed to an ongoing struggle with drugs.
Known simply as Mikey to those close to him, Eyedea will be remembered as a passionate artist whose songs were intelligent and heartfelt. A seriously respected and influential figure in the world of independent hip hop, Eyedea will be sorely missed.
Here's a track from the album, Eyedea & Abilities, in tribute.
Eyedea & Abilities - "Exhausted Love"
