Mike Schpitz Releases Official "Stanley Ipkiss" Artwork & Tracklist
LISTEN NOW: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtNs18NGKXY Mike Schpitz has released the official artwork and tracklisting for his Block Starz Music debut, "Stanley Ipkiss: Year Of The Nice Guy", which hits major online retailers August 3. The ambitious EP release, which features 10 original compositions and a hidden bonus track, comes on the heels of Mike Schpitz' breakout mixtape release, "Mike Murder", which left fans and industry insiders wondering what else the innovative lyricist from Topeka, Kansas had up his sleeve. "Stanley Ipkiss: Year Of The Nice Guy" was inspired by Jim Carrey's character from the 1994 box office smash "The Mask" and takes listeners on a cinematic ride through everyday life as viewed from the offbeat perspective of Mike Schpitz. The song, "Year Of The Nice Guy", premiered on Block Starz Music's explosive "Midwest Block Starz" compilation (now available on Amazon and iTunes) and immediately caught the attention of both critics and peers, who praised Mike's razor sharp delivery and wordplay. Sonically, the majority of the production work on "Stanley Ipkiss: Year Of The Nice Guy" is handled by up and coming Chicago beat maker, Rob Bates, who produced the EP's title track ("Year Of The Nice Guy"), "We On Fire", "Right Of Way", "Three Headed Monster" and the bonus cut "Tryouts". Bates is joined by hit makers QB Da Problem and Nascent (50 Cent, Slim Thug, Cory Gunz), who crafted "Raw Shit" and "Your Highness", and newcomer Im Trumaine, who produced "Gimme That".
