“a breath of fresh air in a humid room” – The New Yorker
“Every year, he seems to drop the best confessional of his life” – NPR
“Destined to be a legend” – Pitchfork
“MIKE has one of the most quietly prolific catalogs in hip-hop right now” – Rolling Stone
After cryptically teasing “dolemite” on social media to a frenzy last month, MIKE and Tony Seltzer officially announce their collaborative album Pinball II. The sequel to their beloved joint project Pinball will be out May 7th via 10k, and includes the secretive teaser track “dolemite”, featuring Lunchbox. The latest offering from the new project, “Prezzy” is out today, co-produced by Tony Seltzer and Clams Casino, and is accompanied by a Nicholas Stafford Briggs-directed video. The album is available for pre-save on DSPs now. MIKE is also releasing two double-LP vinyl editions of Pinball II, with a gatefold jacket featuring Tamia Brown’s artwork. Both the standard black and 10k-exclusive green colorways are available to purchase at www.10k.global.
The first Pinball collab project from MIKE and Tony signaled “a fearless sonic shift” in MIKE’s sound according to Rolling Stone. Pinball II solidifies MIKE’s dexterity as an artist, showing that he doesn’t simply shift between styles, he adds them to his growing repertoire. Once again, MIKE and Tony’s chemistry as a pairing is front and center, with the addition of familiar faces via guest features including Earl Sweatshirt and 10k labelmates Sideshow and Niontay. Pinball II also features co-production from Akachi (Chief Keef, Playboi Carti, JT), ivvys1 (OsamaSon, Ken Carson, stepteam), Laron (Jay Critch, Rich The Kid), Dylvinci (Doechii, MAVI) and is also the first time MIKE, as dj blackpower, has co-produced a song with Tony on one of their joint projects.
Earlier this year, MIKE released his tenth solo LP Showbiz!, a capstone album that was critically acclaimed by the likes of The Guardian, The FADER, and Pitchfork, who awarded it Best New Album in their review, MIKE’s third BNA. At just 26 years old, MIKE’s become one of the essential young voices in hip-hop this decade through his own extensive discography, his label 10k and his free Young World festival in Bed-Stuy, which will celebrate its fifth edition this Summer.
The announcement of Pinball II coincides with MIKE beginning the North American leg of his #aotc tour, which completed its European leg earlier this month. This tour, the biggest of MIKE’s career, resumes tonight in Philadelphia and includes 40 dates across the country, concluding with a hometown show at New York City’s Irving Plaza on May 31st. The North American leg of the tour includes support from the likes of Sideshow, Niontay, semiratruth, El Cousteau, Mercury, Stahhr, Salami Rose Joe Louis, Liv.e, RiTchie, Maxo, Camden Malik, Anysia Kym, duendita, Navy Blue, Mike Shabb, 12k Gotti and additional special surprise guests.
