MMA - Remember the Days
Artist: MMA
Featuring: Emilio Rojas
Producer: Foolery (of Kooley High)
Album: Everlasting Life
Label: Applewhite Records
Whether you were raised in a gated community or an inner-city ‘hood, it’s tough not to look back with nostalgia on your younger days. Of course, that doesn’t mean you need to view your past through rose-colored glasses. On newly-leaked album cut Remember the Days, making its world premiere in the Booth, MMA takes a page from Back in the Day emcee Ahmad‘s book, reminiscing about his ghetto childhood without understating the dangers and struggles of life in the ghetto. Kooley High member Foolery handles production, flipping The Stylistics’ classic You’re a Big Girl Now into a soulful backdrop for the N.C. spitter’s reflections on the distance he’s come from his humble beginnings. Assisting on the guest tip, Booth newcomer Shin B discusses her own climb from the bottom in an ambitious middle 16, and reader fave Emilio Rojas takes us back to his college years in verse three, revisiting his feelings of alienation from his privileged peers. Digging this bass-bumping trip down Memory Lane? Then be sure to cop MMA’s latest album, Everlasting Life, when it drops on December 28.

Foolery chops up quite a catchy sample here. MMA and friends do the production justice, though, I would have started things off with Emilio's verse (it would have brought more energy to the track). Keep up the good work, MMA.

I remember that chorus! MMA started it off right. I like the production work by Foolery the chorus is still catchy. Shin B was pretty good and Emilio Rojas put it over the top. This is a BANGER!

MMA comes out the blocks strong on this joint. That should've been the last verse to bring it home. Shin B and Emilio get off too. Foolery chopped a great classic sample. Love his and 9th Wonder's sound. Way to remix the hook too. Great song overall
