PINBALL 2 OUT MAY 7TH VIA 10K
CATCH MIKE’S #AOTC WORLD TOUR ON THE ROAD NOW
CONCLUDES IN NYC AT IRVING PLAZA ON 5/31
MIKE and Tony Seltzer release the second single from their recently announced collaborative album, Pinball 2. The latest offering from the new project “WYC4,” out today, was produced by Tony Seltzer and is accompanied by an Ian Lopez-directed music video. Pinball 2, out May 7th via MIKE’s 10k label, is the sequel to their beloved joint project Pinball, which arrived on March 6th last year. The album is available for pre-order/pre-save now at https://10k.ffm.to/pinball2.
Last month, MIKE and Tony caught their followers by surprise, cryptically releasing a video clip for “Dolemite” featuring Lunchbox on social media. The rumors that quickly spread about a Pinball sequel amongst the fanbase were confirmed a week later with the official Pinball 2 announcement and release of “Prezzy” across all platforms. With the “Prezzy” release, MIKE was featured on the cover of Apple Music’s New Music Daily playlist, which coincided with an interview with Eddie Francis as part of his takeover of Zane Lowe’s Apple Music Radio show.
The first Pinball collab project from MIKE and Tony signaled “a fearless sonic shift” in MIKE’s sound, as noted by Rolling Stone, who also praised MIKE for having “one of the most quietly prolific catalogs in hip-hop right now.” Pinball 2 solidifies MIKE’s dexterity as an artist, showing that he doesn’t simply shift between styles, he adds them to his limitless 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 2 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.
On January 31st of 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 Music in their review, MIKE’s third BNM. At 27 years old, MIKE has 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 celebrating its fifth edition this Summer.
MIKE is currently out on 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 Dallas 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.
