Never Come Down dropping on Halloween. Hit the jump for the press release…

Chicago, IL September 27, 2011 – Underground hip-hop artists M.A.R.S. (Music Always Reigns Supreme) have released the official video for the single entitled, Wake Up, from their highly anticipated and forthcoming mixtape, Never Come Down. This alternative, futuristically-driven and fashion forward group combines explosive lyrics with soulful singing and tight production to create a colorful and high energy fusion in their music. Their unapologetically hip hop edge ensures that the streets and hipsters alike will appreciate the Chicago-bred duo’s step into a new lane with their unique style and music.

Hailing from the soul & hip hop-heavy streets of Chicago, group members Ayo Kid and London began to hone their individual talents during their days of checking for lunchroom rap battles in high school. Producer London was known as the beatmaker and went on to gain notoriety with production credits for two tracks on Lil Kim’s 2005 release, The Naked Truth, complemented by mentions in The Source. Rapper Ayo Kid stayed committed to expanding his rap skills throughout their time in high school and on into college, before returning to Chicago to form a group, now known as M.A.R.S. Both reflect on those days as incubation and study time as they focused their energies on developing their style and on making hits that mainstream listeners and radio could vibe on.

The success of their initial offering, Out Of This World brought acclaim from hip hop’s musical elite and industry tastemakers, and the group is poised to raise awareness for their unique brand of hip hop with the release of the

Wake Up video. With momentum building, the group is prepared to bring more of their fly and innovative flavor with the upcoming Halloween release of Never Come Down the mixtape.
