¡MAYDAY! - Highs & Lows (Statik Selektah Remix)
Artist: ¡MAYDAY!
Producer: Statik Selektah
Album: None (Promo Single)
Label: Strange Music
Whether ¡MAYDAY!‘s material lends itself to reimagination or they simply have an unusually talented and enthusiastic network of connects, the Panhandle State crew have pumped out a greater quantity and quality of remixes than just about any Booth-featured act in recent memory. The latest of many dope reimaginings spawned by the crew’s Strange Music debut set finds underground veteran Statik Selektah putting his own spin on Highs & Lows, a single originally featured way back in January of 2011. Switching out the original’s moody, Plex Luthor-produced beat for a radiant piano loop, the Boston heavyweight imbues the hard-hustling cut with a refreshing retro ambiance. As if the all-original production weren’t enough, frequent Statik collaborator REKS laces the record with some brand new guest bars. Time to weigh in, readers: how does this rendition stack up against the album version and the previously-featured, J.NICS/Freeway-assisted remix? Fans can find the former on ¡MAYDAY!‘s Take Me to Your Leader LP, released in March and out now in stores and online. Fans can also click here to stream and purchase the crew’s recent Thrift Store Haloes EP right here in the Booth.

Statik Selektah is like ranch dressing... he makes everything taste better. The original, and the original remix, are two of my fave Mayday records. This remix makes three.

Statik has a crazy catalog with many different styles inside of it. This one is nice and smooth and everyone on this track was good enough to handle it well. Good Collaboration joint.

This song should never been remixed, unfortunately most people will hear this one first. the original is a true Banger.

My God, I loved and still do the original so damn much, just an awesome track.
And I gotta say, as much as I love Statik's productions as well, this one here doesn't reach the original. It's still a 4/5 but no 5/5. |
