Last we heard from
Mike Schpitz, he was boasting about "
Gettin’ It" – “It” being cash – in every way, shape or form imaginable. Today, on the second of four premieres off his forthcoming mixtape, the Kansan emcee’s "
Going for Broke" with nothing to his name but “a dollar and a dream.” Whatever the truth may be (I’m guessing it lies somewhere in between), it’d be a shame to let a little self-contradiction hamper your enjoyment of a record this fresh.
Maja 7th sets a triumphant mood on the production tip, flipping Brighter Side of Darkness’ soul classic "
I’ve Got a Love Jones for You" into a beat befitting “that first joint you make after you get on.” Schpitz, for his part, spits like an artist on the cusp of greatness; in verses peppered with references to rap heavyweights, the emcee acknowledges his self-doubt, but expresses confidence that the momentum he’s built up will carry him over the edge – you can “bet your paycheck” on it.
Fans will be able to experience the latest chapter in Schpitz’ ascent to stardom on March 30, when his the mothership x RefinedHype sponsored "The Prize Package Volume 1" LP becomes available for free streaming and download.
