¡MAYDAY! - Internal Wars
Artist: ¡MAYDAY!
Producer: Plex Luthor
Album: Take Me to Your Leader
Label: Strange Music
While the competitive, often cutthroat nature of the music game can’t be denied, the struggle to establish oneself as an artist is as much a battle with one’s inner demons as it is a fight against one’s rivals. Luckily, Booth-acclaimed crew ¡MAYDAY! have both the skills and the will to succeed—along with some formidable connects. The latest single off their highly-anticipated Strange Music debut, Internal Wars sees the Miami live-band crew donning their riot gear alongside a couple equally talented underground compatriots. Crew member Plex Luthor turns in a characteristically nuanced effort behind the boards, layering moody synths over a subdued yet driving rhythm section as Wrekonize (a 2011 Best of the Booth Reader Pick!), Bernbiz and company sketch out a grisly picture of the industry: “No ceilings, just killing fields and record deals / Young’ns getting slaughtered on the field of the dollar in the hopes of mass appeal.” Dead prez rhymesayer M1 and Boston underground mainstay REKS assist, contributing steely-eyed guest rhymes to the record’s back end. No doubt about it; ¡MAYDAY! are armed and dangerous. If you’re digging this cut, stay tuned for more hard-hitting tunes leading up to their arrival of Take Me to Your Leader this spring.

 You should know by now that if we feature new ¡MAYDAY!, its worthy of your time and at least 4 stars. At least.

I really haven't been disapointed from these guys, and a feature from Dead Prez, and REKS makes it even that much better.

I like the different beat by Plex Luthor. I like Mayday's fast flow. REKS and M1 were good over the beat too. Nothing really makes this over the top for me, but its decent.
