"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 Topeka, Kansas native, and current Chicago resident, 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 ridiculously creative 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 I'm Trumaine, who produced "Gimme That".

Raps Undeniably enticing and captivates your ears with a different sound and voice we don’t hear in Hip Hop. ~ Miss Ls Some critics may immediately compare him to Asher Roth or Eminem, but Schpitz is in his own lane. ~ The Examiner The clever Kansas emcee just doesn’t seem capable of making a mistake lately. ~ Hip Hop Base Mike Schpitz is just one dotted line away from making his mark in the non-black rapper set. ~ LA Stereo If his "Mike Murder" project didn't raise some eyebrows and impress, this new EP certainly will do the trick. ~ DJ Booth See what all the fuss is about.
