Mayday’s Leftovers Are Doper Than Your Entrees: “Do or Die” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 05/09/12 | Filed under Downloads, Mayday

I'd rather listen to some shit like "Do or Die" that didn't make "Follow the Leader" than about 90% of the hip-hop out there. When you're leftovers are doper than most people's entrees, you know you're doing something right. Listen and download...

As I just got done explaining over on the mothership, ¡MAYDAY!'s new "Take Me To Your Leader" is really good, like really fucking good. And because the Miami crew apparently doesn't sleep, they quickly followed the album release with one of the doper actual remixes you're going to hear. Listen and download...

I don't mean to overlook Stat Quo, who delivered a hell of a verse, and of course Mayday deserve credit for cooking up a hell of an original,but....holy shit balls Pharoahe Monch killed the opening verse of the "Death March (Remix)". Fuck. This shit's so dope I've developed Tourettes - damn!

Last Night’s a “Blur” for Tech N9ne & Mayday (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 02/03/12 | Filed under Downloads, Tech N9ne, Mayday

I don't know if folks outside the hardcore Strange Music fan base realizes what's happening here. By signing Mayday, my unadulterated bandwagon pick, Tech not only picks up one of the dopest live hip-hop crews working, he got himself one hell of a back-up band. Listen and download...

Posted by Nathan S. on 01/25/12 | Filed under Refined Picks, Downloads, Mayday

I'm so fucking on the Mayday bandwagon I'm driving the damn...um....bandwagon. Whatever, you get the point. While, on the real, RefinedHype and the mothership have been working with the Miami crew for a minute now, they've gone from "that pretty dope group" to "holy sh*t, these guys are f**king ill" over the past year.

Mayday Enters “Must Listen” Territory With New Release “Internal Wars” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 01/11/12 | Filed under Refined Picks, Downloads, Dead Prez, Mayday, REKS

Mayday are able to make live instrument hip-hop without succumbing to the "hey look at us, we're making live instrument hip-hop!" trap so many other groups fall victim to, and by combining group emcees BernBiz and Wrekonize with Dead Prez vet M1 and Boston emcee REKS, the mic skills more than match the beat.

Mayday Are Some Sinister Motherf**king Kids (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 12/08/11 | Filed under Top Stories, Refined Picks, Downloads, Mayday, The Black Keys

Don't worry, my heart still pumps will the blood of a rap nerd, but there's some dope new music out there in the form of new albums from Bjork, Amy Winehouse and the Black Keys. Especially that Black Keys shit, and considering their hip-hop roots it was only a matter of time before some adventurous rappity rappers took a shot at a cut Keys cut like "Sinister Kids".

Hey Look, It’s Some New Del the Funky Homosapien (Listen & Download)

Listen, there are two types of people. People who think Del the Funky Homosapien's "Deltron3030" is legitimately one of the best hip-hop albums ever and get stoked whenever new Del music surfaces, and people who have no idea what the fuck I'm talking about. This post is for the first kind people.
