DAY26 member Willie Taylor III got his own street named after him Willie Taylor Avenue in Harvey, Illinois (right outside of Chicago). This is such a huge honor and we are definentely proud of Will and the members of DAY26 for this amazing honor. It’s really touching and its even right up the street from the house that Willie grew up on. Watch the video & get inspired!

A brand new track from DAY26 leaked today and the track is called Can’t Be Me. The track is off the chain for real and is a real club banger. Once again, i’m not sure if this was supposed to be on the album or if it’s upcoming - but either way, I still think this is a real hot track. The harmonies are on point and the ending is PERFECT! Just a all around great song. Check it out if you haven’t already.

Hey ya’ll - I just added about 70 captures from Making The Band 4 - Season 1. I had them on the computer for a while now, but I finally got around to uploading them to the gallery. They are pretty HQ too, so check them out.

The New York Times did a review of the Dr. Pepper School’s Out Concert that DAY26 performed at last night and they had good things to say. Thanks to BadBoy4Life for finding this! Check out an exerpt from the review :

“As T-Pain was counting down the minutes until he would be forced offstage, Day26, the R&B group that opened the show about two and a half hours earlier, was raining fliers down on the crowd from the upper balcony. The members then made their way to the lobby, where they posed for pictures with fans.

About a quarter of the audience abandoned T-Pain for the opportunity; after an unstructured jumble of a night, the ringleader could tame them only so much.”
