Eagle Nebula

Bringing the fun back into hip hop, Eagle Nebula challenges the scene to reminisce on the days when freestyle sessions were like medicine and the street was a breeding ground for the modern day renaissance. On her latest LP, Cosmic Headphones, she begs you to enter her mind and spirit on a journey from Inglewood, Calif. to Brooklyn, NY as she morphs into a mic goddess with passion on her tongue. Using rhyme styles and voice play that has her compared stylistically to mighty KRS-1, this LP serves as an introduction to Eagle's many layers. Cosmic Headphones will be released on ePistrophik Peach Sound label (founded by hip hop soul veterans Georgia Anne Muldrow and Dudley Perkins) this October coming in wax, CD, or digital. - Trace Magazine, Sarah White

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 that’s 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. Not to mention the fact that she’s co-owner of her own production company Chip Monk Films and starting her own jewelry line in the fall, so keep checking for that peoples..a sista is doing it for real! - The Bloom Effect Blog

The Eagle Nebula is a star cluster 7000 light-years from Earth. The exotic images the Hubble Space Telescope produced of this constellation show the billowy gas and dust formations that through extraordinary cosmic phenomenon will become stars.

In a sense, artist Eagle Nebula’s debut release Cosmic Headphones acts as a beautifully creative soundtrack to these images. Eagle’s enlightening lyrics combined with her Parliament-tinged funk-hop grooves create an otherworldly sound that perfectly complements the otherworldly images. Her words are spoken with a sassy disposition, the way she accentuates certain phrases keeps her delivery fresh. “When you’re listening to the hardcore funk … it’s almost as though the song goes inside of your body and makes your back start to move … it makes you want to dance,” Eagle expresses in her interlude “Fonktion 101”. However, moving your body to her beats does not come naturally. It takes a moment of uncomfortably intense limbo to get your body synchronized to the beat, partly because each beat is so abstractly styled its almost difficult to immediately immerse yourself in her music. That being said, her originality is undeniable, and her sometimes smooth, sometimes irregular delivery keeps each track unique. “I travel all around in my Spaceship Earth,” Eagle spits on “Spaceship Earth,” from Los Angeles to New York, and to the far reaches of the universe. Cosmic Headphones is eclectic blend of funk, hip-hop and atmospheric groove, an interstellar adventure in sound and lyricism. - URB magazine
