¡Mayday! - i2009

:: ¡Mayday! is up to something. This week, they released a teaser trailer to alert the public: Next year they have big plans. ¡Mayday! first made their mark with their groundbreaking “Groundhog Day” music video, which reached 2 million views on YouTube (in less than two days) and landed coverage on The New York Times, NBC 6, Inside Edition and more. Since then, their music has been featured on HBO’s Entourage, MTV’s Freshman Five (2006), and EA Sport’s Street Homecourt (2007). They have toured the US and expanded the duo into a full-blown band, recruiting ferocious MC Wrekonize (Winner of the MTV/Roc-A-Fella MC Battle 2 in 2003).
