Mike Schpitz Sees the Light After “The Rain” (Video & Download)

Mike Schpitz is known more for his off the wall lyrical linguistics than his serious odes, but on his single "The Rain" the Topeka, Kansas emcee dopely takes us inside some of his darker (and wetter) days, and, more importantly, ultimately offering a ray of hope. Coming off his "Love Potion Potion Number 9th: The Hangover" mixtape, Schpitz has now let go of some visual accompaniment to his lyrical storm, using Chicago's urban scenery as the perfect backdrop to mesh with the production and the lyrics (no offense to Chicago). I don't want to overshadow this one with my usual inane commentary, so I'll just let it ride. Enjoy.

"The Rain" is dedicated to Mike Schpitz' cousin, John Mills Neiswanger, who passed away January 17. R.I.P.
