T-Baby and Mae Day: Detroit Hip Hop’s females of the future

T-Baby Mae Day

The Michigan Citizen’s Biba Adams recently interviewed two of Detroit’s more prominent young female hip hop artists. T-Baby and Mae Day are looking to elevate Detroit Hip Hop with their respective Runyon Ave and Sick Notes camps.

T-Baby on working with Denaun Porter:

MC: Denaun Porter is your EP, how is it working with someone so successful? Is it motivating?

TB: Yes. We can go to the studio and work all night. We’ll stay up 2 days in a row, not knowing if it’s light or dark outside. It’s great. He’s like a Dad to me and I’m like his daughter. When we work together it’s like a bomb exploding! It’s phenomenal.

Mae Day on hooking up with Sick Notes Production:

MC: How did you get with Sick Notes?

MD: We actually knew each other from high school and we worked with the same person in a management capacity which didn’t really work out.

Mae Day “Somethin’s Gotta Give” reviewed

Tamara Warren of the Detroit Free Press reviews Mae Day’s Somethin’s Gotta Give - the Sick Notes artist’s debut album.

Her flow is infectious on bouncy cuts like “Like Hey,” which features the usual lyrical boasts: “It’s like ‘Cheers,’/ Everybody knows her name,” she taunts on the track that also features Tone Tone. Her vocals are breathy, and at times, she almost sings her hooks, a concept that works well on “Action,” where she is backed by the soulful voice of L’Renee. A samba beat sets off “B.A.B. Why?,” which has dance floor written all over it.

Mae Day has attitude, but her delivery is refreshing and light — a strong new voice from the Detroit hip-hop scene.

Mae Day, Mae Day! Where have the female emcee’s gone?

The decline of female emceeing makes its way into the news with this report from Billboard/Reuters.

Trying to buck this trend is Sick Notes artist, Mae Day. The 24 year old native Detroiter is featured in a recent Real Detroit article.

Tom Matich describes Mae’s rhyme style and is told how Coiya Renee Wilson got her rap name.

Over the speakers, she comes in with a gushing, bouncing, nasal, rhetorical flow that punches with reverberating pronunciation. She’s a street-smart, hoody drawn down, mic blasting Jay-Z meshed with the art house, neo-soul afocentricity of Lauryn Hill pre-acoustic ramblings. She takes her name from Grace Jones’s character in the Roger Moore James Bond film, A View To A Kill. Jones was one of the first black Bond Girls.

“We were looking for a name one day,” Mae says. “I had other names before but it didn’t capture who I was. One day I went online and looked through a lot of movie characters and that’s the one that stuck.”

Mae Day - Something’s Gotta Give

Mae Day and Sick Notes Entertainment have released the debut, Something’s Gotta Give this June. It will feature Tone Tone, Swedish singer Ana Diaz and some o’ that Sick Notes production. The album is available online at www.streetcornermusic.com.
