¡MAYDAY! - Highs & Lows (Remix)
Artist: ¡MAYDAY!
Producer: Plex Luthor
Album: Smash & Grab
Label: Strange Music
Featured back in January, ¡MAYDAY!‘s Highs & Lows was a pop-appealing, (relatively) upbeat ode to self-medication. As we all know, every action has its equal and opposite reaction – and it’s only appropriate that the unreleased cut’s official remix spotlight the record’s darker undertones. Crew member Plex Luthor serves up a radically stripped-down take on his original instrumental, overlaying a narcotized bassline with atmospheric synth and guitar accents as Wrek and Bernbiz spit about the seductive pleasures of mood-altering chemicals. Taking Ace Hood‘s place on the guest tip are two certified Booth faves (both of whom rocked the stage at Booth-sponsored SXSW showcase The Rising); Philly street veteran and freestyle series alumnus Freeway guests on the middle, attacking the joint with his trademark aggressive flows, and Champion Rizla emcee J. NiCS rounds out the lineup, lending his gravelly vocal stylings to the penultimate 16. Time for the big question: how does this stark rendition stack up against the original? Regardless of which you prefer, you can count on the Booth to being you all the latest from these Panhandle State innovators.

The original version and the remix with Ace Hood were both highly enjoyable, but with Freeway and NiCS on-board and a slight production tweak I think this is probably the best version yet. After all - the root of the record had to be good to justify putting out another version. Mayday stays #winning.

I haven't heard the original but if it was anything close this then I tip my hat to Mayday and all involved. I don't know how they navigated from Ace to Freeway but he rocked it. Hip-hop lives.

A high 3. Not too familiar with Mayday. This is a good intro for me. Freeway did his thing as always
