Serengeti
The Serengeti (/ˌsɛrənˈɡɛti/) ecosystem is a geographical region in Africa. It is located in northern Tanzania and extends to south-western Kenya between 1 and 3 degrees south latitudes and between 34 and 36 degrees east longitudes. It spans approximately 30,000 km2 (12,000 sq mi). The Kenyan part of the Serengeti is known as Maasai Mara.
The Serengeti hosts the largest terrestrial mammal migration in the world, which helps secure it as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa and one of the ten natural travel wonders of the world. The Serengeti is also renowned for its large lion population and is one of the best places to observe prides in their natural environment. The region contains the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and several game reserves.
Approximately 70 large mammal and 500 bird species are found there. This high diversity is a function of diverse habitats, including riverine forests, swamps, kopjes, grasslands, and woodlands.Blue wildebeests, gazelles, zebras, and buffalos are some of the commonly found large mammals in the region.

Serengeti (rapper)
David Cohn, better known by his stage name Serengeti, is an alternative hip hop artist from Chicago, Illinois.
History
In 2007, Serengeti released the collaborative album Don't Give Up with fellow local producer Polyphonic. The duo released their second album Terradactyl on Anticon in 2009.
Serengeti's solo album, Family & Friends, was released on the label in 2011. It was produced by Yoni Wolf of Why? and Owen Ashworth of Advance Base and Casiotone for the Painfully Alone.
He is a member of Sisyphus along with Son Lux and Sufjan Stevens. The trio released Beak & Claw in February 2012 and a self-titled album in 2014. Serengeti released Kenny Dennis EP and C.A.R. later that year. The EP and the album are both produced by Jel and Odd Nosdam.
Style
Serengeti's music is a sharp departure from most mainstream hip hop, which he considers "depressing" and always consists of "the same redundant ideas." His music includes numerous references to Chicago culture often done in character as one of his several personae. On the title track of his album Dennehy, Serengeti assumes the role of "Kenny," a married man who loves Chicago Bears and Chicago White Sox with a thick Chicago accent reminiscent of Bill Swerski's Superfans. The track makes numerous references that would be well known to a Chicagoan, including the radio station WCKG, polish and Italian sausage, Tom Skilling, Mike Ditka, Dave Corzine, Portillo's Restaurants and "The Super Bowl Shuffle."

Serengeti (sunglasses brand)
Serengeti Eyewear is a high-end sunglasses designer brand owned by Bushnell Corporation. Their main focus is eye protection, of which the company researches and develops state of the art technology such as photochromic lenses, polarized lenses, spectral control, among other.
Overview
The brand was developed by Corning. In 1984, Corning considered closing its Serengeti division due to poor financial performance. However, entrepreneur Zaki Mustafa convinced the board that he could save the brand. He attributed product-centric focus, poor marketing, anemic customer service, and inefficient asset management as the causes of poor sales. With only fifty-two employees, he successfully raised sales from $5 million in 1985 to $62 million in 1992.
In 1995, Corning decided to sell the sunglass business. Vivian Gernand became the director and brought in a team to re-position the brand as more high end.. The re-position included the introduction of the Signia line for younger consumers, increased sports line and updated materials and changes for the Driver line. Gross profit increased as a percentage of sales, from approximately 35% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to approximately 54% for the same period in 1997, primarily as a result of product mix. Approximately 73% of the 1997 sales consisted of premium Serengeti products that carry gross margins significantly higher than the company's non-premium products that comprised substantially all of the company's sales in 1996.

You don't want to mess with Kenny Dennis. Even at the age of 50, the bratwurst downing, Brian Dennehy-worshipping rapper can run a mile in 4:14. The KDz remains the most feared slugger on the softball diamond. And he can still take Nitro from American Gladiators on in a game of Powerball. That's just Kenny.
This is the Kenny Dennis LP, the sequel to last year's self-titled EP. Released on Anticon, it furthers Serengeti's hilarious, absurdist, and subtly humane saga of a Chicago-born man with a Mike Ditka mustache, whose lovable delusions and diehard loyalty fall somewhere between Homer Simpson and a Bill Swerski Superfan.
"Kenny's just telling current stories," Serengeti says about his alter ego. "He wants to give people a heads up and offer some life advice. 'Hey listen up to me, I'm wise.' He's getting more confident, even though he always was confident."
If you're just tuning into the chronicles of Kenny, there are a few things you need to know. First off: Kenny Dennis was once in Tha Grimm Teachaz during the Golden Age of the early 90s. Signed to Jive, the Teachaz learned record industry rule #4,080 and were dropped from the label, but not before Kenny feuded with Shaquille O' Neal, who was performing with the Fu-Schnickens during the 1993 Jive Records Showcase in Philadelphia. Shaq mocked Kenny's stache. This was a grave error.
Kenny returned with a vengeance on 2006's cult classic Dennehy,. Since then, the character created by David Cohn has re-appeared on Conversations with Kenny and the "original never-released" Grimm Teachaz Record, There's a Situation on the Homefront. But the KDz really hit his stride as an MC on last year's eponymous EP, which Pitchfork raved as being "half Prince Paul, half-Waiting for Guffman."
Lest you mistake Serengeti for a joke artist, 2011's Family & Friends and 2012's C.A.R. found the prolific Chicagoan writing some of the most self-deprecating and sorrowful looks at addiction and image transformation in recent memory. He's collaborated with celebrated underground artists like Sufjan Stevens, Matthewdavid, and Yoni Wolf of Why? Robert Christgau, the dean of American music critics, has given all but one of his records "A" scores and openly wondered: "Is there anyone else who can do this?"
But there's only one Kenny Dennis and he's back to give you some direction—straight up, no O' Doul's chaser. The Kenny Dennis LP is full of jewels of wisdom, the tender love story Kenny and his wife Jueles, and the longtime friendship between Kenny and Ders (Anders Holm from Workaholics, a Kenny fan who appears in four skits). The beats come from Odd Nosdam and cast a similarly bizarro re-working of boom-bap, blending rugged beat breaks, sci-fi synths, and scratches courtesy of Jel.
"Kenny's rapping the only way that he knows how. He's not really current with what's happening in the game. This is his take on rap and everything that influences him on his day-to-day life schedule," Serengeti says. "He's a man rapping because he loves to rap and he cares for people, wants to spread wisdom. He's not preaching; he's just calling it the way he sees it.
Kenny Dennis might be "normal," but Serengeti's creativity is unrivaled. As bizarre as it is brilliant, it's like the deranged comic vision of an imaginary super group comprised of Andy Kauffman, Mellow Gold-era Beck, and MF Doom.
The raps on The Kenny Dennis LP are stream-of-consciousness rants about how if you "like it, you bang 'em," ("Bang Em"), which Kenny translates into a metaphor about how you got to get up and do something. He also denies being a vegan. "Punks" finds him mumbling disses aimed at everyone from imaginary rivals to professional wrestler, Leaping Lanny Poffo. "Crush 'Em" finds Kenny breaking down the inventions of the English (boxing, tennis golf) vs. those of Americans (football, beef, leg stockings).
Interspersed with the songs is the narrative between Kenny and Ders, who he met around 1988 at the Sharper Image on Michigan Ave. While futilely attempting to return a non-fogging shaving mirror, Kenny noticed the young Ders and generously bestowed him with a shower radio ("a good piece of merchandise.") It traces the relationship to Kenny's 50th birthday at the Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in California, full of celebrity guests and sinister Shaquille O' Neal fans.
This is Kenny as he stands today. 50 years old. Still furious and even funnier. The best friend you ever had, so long as you don't wear a Shaq jersey in his vicinity.

Michael Eagle grew up in chicago listening to alt-rock on q101 and taping underground rap shows on WHPK. He also occasionally snuck and ordered music videos on the Box.
He went to college at southern illinois university and battled everybody everywhere and freestyled all the time. He graduated with a degree in psychology but somehow it never occurred to him to go to Scribble Jam.
He moved to LA and linked up with Project Blowed. He toured with Busdriver, Aceyalone, and Abstract Rude. He started a rap group called Thirsty Fish with Dumbfoundead and Psychosiz and the Swim Team with Alpha MC, VerBS, Sahtyre and more. He worked as a teacher during this time and usually had a hangover.
He put out his first solo album in 2010 with Mush Records. He put out his second LP with Hellfyre Club/Alpha Pup and his third with Fake Four Inc.
He’s toured with Blu, Aesop Rock, Dessa, Homeboy Sandman, Ceschi, Moka Only, Louis Logic, and more.
In 2012 he participated in and co-authored a study with the National Insititues of Health that had him freestyle in an MRI machine to study the brain activity that occurs during improvisational rap.
Articles were published onnature.com, wired.com, discovery.com, nbc.com, npr.org and more. The articles have become infamous for the unabashed racism in each of their comment sections. In 2013 he was the first rapper to appear as a guest on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast. He’s also appeared on the Paul F. Tompkins show, Hannibal Burress’s comedy show, the Eric Andre live show, and the WITS show produced by American Public Media.
He produced the first “Mike Eagle Show” in January of 2014. It was a night of rap and comedy lauded by LA Weekly ‘as something they look forward to seeing more of’. He too thought they could have written something nicer.
His most recent work is alongside Busdriver, Nocando, milo, and more under the guise of Hellfyre Club. Their 2013 mixtape “Dorner Vs Tookie” was praised by Pitchfork, the Chicago Reader, LA Weekly and more.
He was named Impose Magazine’s Rapper of the Year for 2013. The rapper of the whole entire year.
His new album is Dark Comedy. Its 45 minutes of attempting to giggle at the abyss. It features raps from Hannibal Burress and Das Racist’s Kool A.D. Beats from Jeremiah Jae, Dibia$e, Busdriver and more. Its his first release on Mello Music Group.

You don't want to mess with Kenny Dennis. Even at the age of 50, the bratwurst downing, Brian Dennehy-worshipping rapper can run a mile in 4:14. The KDz remains the most feared slugger on the softball diamond. And he can still take Nitro from American Gladiators on in a game of Powerball. That's just Kenny.
This is the Kenny Dennis LP, the sequel to last year's self-titled EP. Released on Anticon, it furthers Serengeti's hilarious, absurdist, and subtly humane saga of a Chicago-born man with a Mike Ditka mustache, whose lovable delusions and diehard loyalty fall somewhere between Homer Simpson and a Bill Swerski Superfan.
"Kenny's just telling current stories," Serengeti says about his alter ego. "He wants to give people a heads up and offer some life advice. 'Hey listen up to me, I'm wise.' He's getting more confident, even though he always was confident."
If you're just tuning into the chronicles of Kenny, there are a few things you need to know. First off: Kenny Dennis was once in Tha Grimm Teachaz during the Golden Age of the early 90s.

"He's a man rapping because he loves to rap and he cares for people, wants to spread wisdom. He's not preaching; he's just calling it the way he sees it.
Kenny Dennis might be "normal," but Serengeti's creativity is unrivaled. As bizarre as it is brilliant, it's like the deranged comic vision of an imaginary super group comprised of Andy Kauffman, Mellow Gold-era Beck, and MF Doom.
The raps on The Kenny Dennis LP are stream-of-consciousness rants about how if you "like it, you bang 'em," ("Bang Em"), which Kenny translates into a metaphor about how you got to get up and do something. He also denies being a vegan. "Punks" finds him mumbling disses aimed at everyone from imaginary rivals to professional wrestler, Leaping Lanny Poffo. "Crush 'Em" finds Kenny breaking down the inventions of the English (boxing, tennis golf) vs. those of Americans (football, beef, leg stockings).
Interspersed with the songs is the narrative between Kenny and Ders, who he met around 1988 at the Sharper Image on Michigan Ave. While futilely attempting to return a non-fogging shaving mirror, Kenny noticed the young Ders and generously bestowed him with a shower radio ("a good piece of merchandise.") It traces the relationship to Kenny's 50th birthday at the Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in California, full of celebrity guests and sinister Shaquille O' Neal fans.
This is Kenny as he stands today. 50 years old. Still furious and even funnier. The best friend you ever had, so long as you don't wear a Shaq jersey in his vicinity.

Honey Hive Gallery Presents:
Open Mike Eagle
Michael Eagle grew up in chicago listening to alt-rock on q101 and taping underground rap shows on WHPK. He also occasionally snuck and ordered music videos on the Box.
He went to college at southern illinois university and battled everybody everywhere and freestyled all the time. He graduated with a degree in psychology but somehow it never occurred to him to go to Scribble Jam.
He moved to LA and linked up with Project Blowed. He toured with Busdriver, Aceyalone, and Abstract Rude. He started a rap group called Thirsty Fish with Dumbfoundead and Psychosiz and the Swim Team with Alpha MC, VerBS, Sahtyre and more. He worked as a teacher during this time and usually had a hangover.
He put out his first solo album in 2010 with Mush Records. He put out his second LP with Hellfyre Club/Alpha Pup and his third with Fake Four Inc.
He’s toured with Blu, Aesop Rock, Dessa, Homeboy Sandman, Ceschi, Moka Only, Louis Logic, and more.
In 2012 he participated in and co-authored a study with the National Insititues of Health that had him freestyle in an MRI machine to study the brain activity that occurs during improvisational rap.
Articles were published onnature.com, wired.com, discovery.com, nbc.com, npr.org and more. The articles have become infamous for the unabashed racism in each of their comment sections. In 2013 he was the first rapper to appear as a guest on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast. He’s also appeared on the Paul F. Tompkins show, Hannibal Burress’s comedy show, the Eric Andre live show, and the WITS show produced by American Public Media.
He produced the first “Mike Eagle Show” in January of 2014. It was a night of rap and comedy lauded by LA Weekly ‘as something they look forward to seeing more of’. He too thought they could have written something nicer.
His most recent work is alongside Busdriver, Nocando, milo, and more under the guise of Hellfyre Club. Their 2013 mixtape “Dorner Vs Tookie” was praised by Pitchfork, the Chicago Reader, LA Weekly and more.
He was named Impose Magazine’s Rapper of the Year for 2013. The rapper of the whole entire year.
His new album is Dark Comedy. Its 45 minutes of attempting to giggle at the abyss. It features raps from Hannibal Burress and Das Racist’s Kool A.D. Beats from Jeremiah Jae, Dibia$e, Busdriver and more. Its his first release on Mello Music Group.

Serengeti
The Serengeti (/ˌsɛrənˈɡɛti/) ecosystem is a geographical region in Africa. It is located in northern Tanzania and extends to south-western Kenya between 1 and 3 degrees south latitudes and between 34 and 36 degrees east longitudes. It spans approximately 30,000 km2 (12,000 sq mi). The Kenyan part of the Serengeti is known as Maasai Mara.
The Serengeti hosts the largest terrestrial mammal migration in the world, which helps secure it as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa and one of the ten natural travel wonders of the world. The Serengeti is also renowned for its large lion population and is one of the best places to observe prides in their natural environment. The region contains the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and several game reserves.
Approximately 70 large mammal and 500 bird species are found there. This high diversity is a function of diverse habitats, including riverine forests, swamps, kopjes, grasslands, and woodlands.Blue wildebeests, gazelles, zebras, and buffalos are some of the commonly found large mammals in the region.
