Time and Materials is the first collaborative studio album by Serengeti & Open Mike Eagle, released under the group moniker Cavanaugh. It was released on Mello Music Group on November 19, 2015.[1] Entirely produced by Open Mike Eagle,[2] it features guest appearances from P.O.S, Hemlock Ernst, and Busdriver.[3] It is a concept album about "a couple of maintenance veterans named Dave and Mike who work in Cavanaugh, a fictional mixed-income housing unit in the also-fictional town of Detroit, Florida."[4]
Nate Patrin of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.2 out of 10, writing, "for his first full-length production job, Mike sets a tone as raw-nerved and abrasively contemplative as the concept demands." Brett Uddenberg of San Diego Reader wrote, "this is a dense and diverse record that plays to the songwriting strengths of Mike and Serengeti and hints at greater things to come as their partnership evolves."[5]
Spin placed it at number 44 on the "50 Best Hip-Hop Albums of 2015" list.[6]
