Stan Ipcus & Friends

Stan Ipcus is a hip-hop artist from White Plains (currently residing in Bedford Hills) who has represented the 914 in his music for well over two decades. With street-wise, clever lyrics, in-the-pocket flows, and production inspired by the boom bap, sample-heavy classics he was raised on in the ‘90s, Stan has managed to age gracefully as an MC and earn his respect across the underground hip-hop community in New York and beyond.

His music can be heard regularly on popular Hot 97 and Shade 45 rap radio shows, and he’s performed at legendary venues in New York ranging from Madison Square Garden to Webster Hall to the Capitol Theatre here in Westchester County. Ipcus is also featured on Matisyahu’s GRAMMY-nominated album Youth, and he’s the author of the critically-acclaimed book Do Remember! The Golden Era of NYC Hip-Hop Mixtapes.

Stan's had three projects celebrated on Bandcamp's monthly Best Hip-Hop list, including his 2024 LP Sleep If You Want which is out now on all streaming platforms and available on Tape Kingz vinyl. 

On July 30th, Stan Ipcus will be performing an intimate set at Jazz On Main with a host of friends and frequent collaborators including beatboxer Max Bent, DJ Marcus Pinn, and singer/songwriter Matty B.
