the Eagle has Landed..

in 2008, there was this sista that I met in DC (big ups to Can A Sista Rock A Mic Festival!). she was power. her vibe was so flava and peace. and her name stayed with me. EAGLE NEBULA. not just because I think out of all the images we have of space and the universe, the eagle nebula is my favorite and one of the most iconic. but because that name let me know this woman and her sound were traveling through space and time. transcending confines. redefining perceptions of Hip Hop and rhymes. and wow that rhymes, see? the influence a sista has on people..lol.

she takes poetics to new highs where it meshes with that boom bap and Hip Hop becomes nebulized and before you realize, you are inhaling creativity.

Eagle Nebula is carving a niche thats allowing her to blaze her own trail in this most beloved of art forms and she is attracting attention! she's been described on okayplayer.com as “down to earth and otherworldly”, and she has been spending her time since the release of her debut album "Cosmic Headphones" on the Epistrophik Peach Sound/ Groove Attack label gracing stages with the likes of Pete Rock, J-Live and Akrobatik.

you can check her out at the renowned Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival on June 20th on the main stage!

and you know I had questions for the sista::

me: what made you decide to start rhyming?

Eagle Nebula: I didn't really decide to start rhyming, I was just always rapping, always freestyling in my head, making up songs for fun with my friends and family. I guess it's about being an 80's kid, Hip Hop and Sesame Street in the brain all day when your coming up has it's impact. It's just fun for me, then my friends were like, you should record, and I said no for many years, then I was like, let's give it a try...

me: how do you choose your topics?

Eagle Nebula: I wish I had the luxury of choosing topics. There are many things that I want to write about, but those songs rarely come. It seems as though the topics choose me and I say, okay, i'll be your vessel.

me: what do you want to accomplish through music?

Eagle Nebula: Well, the music is about joy and communing with spirit so if that's felt, then the work is done. Of course I want to travel and take over the entire world as well! haha! You know, make the world GO COSMIC! We're in a new age, and I feel it, everyone should feel it. It feels great!

me: where can people find and support your music/shows?
