Eyedea- Untitled Rare Freestyle 2

He could never sleep.
From birth, Micheal Larsen struggled to relax and close his eyes for the night. As a baby, his mother Kathy Averill strapped him into the car seat and drove around St. Paul in the middle of the night to lull her boy back to sleep.
As an adult, when he was working on an album, or a new project - which he almost always was - Larsen went through periods of mania that kept him awake and working for days on end.
"I don't think at any point in his life did he ever get eight hours of sleep," Averill said. "Sometimes it was hard to shut his brain off."
On Oct. 16, Larsen lost a lifelong battle against sleep. Exhausted and intoxicated, he fell face-first into his bed and never woke up.
In his wake, Larsen - who recorded with the bands Carbon Carousel and Face Candy, and under the aliases of Oliver Hart and, most famously, Eyedea - leaves thousands of pages of unpublished poetry and dozens of unreleased songs. That his work might long outlive him saddens Averill, but it would not have surprised her son.
"Mike always used to tell my mom he'd be more famous after he was dead," Averill said.

I miss him almost everyday like he was a family member. I don't see how anyone with a functioning mind would say he wasn't a great artist. May he Rest In Peace forever.

Eyedea has one of the illest fuckin freestyle flows ever.. you can feel him just riding that shit like a wave.

There’s nothing like riding a beat like that freestyling so hard that you stop existing as a human but as a freestyle

[@Alexithymiander]

Sounds like bipolar.
