Mae Day "101 Bars"

It is not often enough that I get to blog about a female emcee in hip hop. Mae Day is hard ... and strong. Love the lyrics. She's got the flow and the swagger too.

I refuse to compare her to anyone. But this is not a radio friendly track and nor is it formulaic. No lyrics, then chorus ... She rips and she rips and then, well, you already know. I've listened to this track many times trying to figure out when she's taking a breath. I mean, this track is more than four minutes and she's a beast! Love, love, love that.

The beats for "101 Bars" is nice, but the beats take a backseat to Mae Day's delivery. It's a good mix. Really a good showcase for her skills.

Check out "Mae Day Mae Day" on YouTube hip hoppers. It is not the end. kfox.
