¡Mayday! has been releasing music since 2006 and made its debut on Tech N9ne’s Strange Music with 2012’s Take Me To Your Leader. The group released Future Vintage Friday (September 18). Despite commercial success, Take Me To Your Leader appeared on multiple Billboard charts, and continued presence on the independent Rap scene, Wrekonize expresses disappointment in people who doubt ¡Mayday!‘s efforts.
“After doing it so long, and people say shit like that,” he says in an exclusive interview that appeared in Friday’s DX Daily, “I do lowkey feel like, eh, I feel like I could get a little bit more credit or whatever. I feel like our whole crew does.”
The Miami emcee cites the nature of the group’s hometown as being influential on the music. He also explains that part of the group’s identity is it’s diversity of sound, blending rock and rap.
“We come through a city that’s very diverse and everyone in our crew, myself included, our whole families are musical and when you have a musical family like that, you get exposed to so many different sources,” he says. “You have your parents playing salsa in the house. Then you listen to the Doobie Brothers and shit. My parents listen to Pink Floyd and Talking Heads. You’ve got all this different spectrum and then you get into Hip Hop and start making Hip Hop music. I feel like we just never let go of that.”

Who and who?
Why don’t you listen and find out, Wrekonize is great solo and even better with ¡Mayday!
The irony of this comment lol
Wrekonize… the dude that won the MTV rap battle back in 2003 and was promised a deal with Roc A Fella but they never gave it to him lol.
Any I swear someone on this site works for MAYDAY they way yall pump out articles about em
Mayday truly is underrated. Those that don’t know are missing out on great music. They’re probably stuck on stupid. Shout out to Strange.
Mayday’s first album was pretty good, their second was eh. Still gotta listen to their third. But honestly, imo, they are overrated. Same goes to most artists on Strange Music’s roster. Tech and his guys has some of the biggest stans of any hip-hop artist. And this is coming from a guy who generally likes them. They’re good, but way, way overrated. Brotha Lynch is great, though.
First album wasn’t Take Me to Your Leader
listen to yourself LOL. what do u like ? and you obviously dont know shit about the band if u only listened to two of their albums. ppl like u are overated.
