11 分钟You're listening to Song Exploder, where musicians take apart their songs,
and piece by piece, tell the story of how they were made.
I'm Rishikesh Hirway.
In this episode, rapper Open Mic Eagle talks about making the song Dark Comedy Morning Show,
along with the track's producer, Walker Ashby, aka Toy Light.
Mike talks about how Toy Light's original instrumental inspired him,
and how his view of his own vocals on the track has changed since recording them.
My name is Open Mike Eagle.
I write and record and perform rap music.
I'm Toy Light.
I produce for Mike on a couple songs.
I was in Boston about a year ago.
And there is a guy up there who promotes shows by the name of Connor.
And he puts on shows up there.
So he likes to stay very abreast as to what's going on, especially with like the L.A. beat scene.
He's the kind of person where when you're just sitting at his house talking,
he's just kind of playing beats and playing music the whole time.
And he played this track that really caught my ear.
And like I made him repeat it and then I made him tell me who it was.
And then I went on the SoundCloud and it was it was one of Walker's tracks.
