Day26 Interview

Hip Hop Interviews at DJBooth

If there’s one lesson to be learned from the last decade or so of television, it’s that reality-show success doesn’t always add up to longevity—particularly where musical stardom is concerned, those who lack true talent or dedication are quick to fall off the national radar. Brian, Mike, Que, Robert, and Willie of Making the Band 4 creation Day26, however, clearly possess both of these qualities and have demonstrated the ability to stick together through all manner of televised trials and tribulations. Now, with the impending release of their sophomore album, the fivesome are angling to cement their status as heavyweight hitmakers in a genre currently dominated by solo acts. As demonstrated by the Booth-smashing success of buzz single “Stadium Music (Flashing Lights)” and Diddy and Yung Joc-featuring lead single “Imma Put It On Her,” listeners are more than ready to spend Forever in a Day with Day26. On April 14th, the group will once again leap from the small screen into the earbuds of fans everywhere, showcasing the end result of the tumultuous process chronicled on Making the Band 4‘s currently-running third season. In an exclusive interview with our own DJ “Z,” Day26 step into the Booth to discuss the truth behind that televised fistfight, the extent to which Diddy was involved in the recording process this time around, and how album cut “Babymaker” stacks up in a game-time situation.
