Some might say they’ve got it all. Club bangers and ballads. Screaming fans. The unmatched expertise of their mentor, P.Diddy. This time, however, they’ve also got the opportunity to show how they’ve grown personally and artistically since last year’s release of their chart-topping debut, the biggest 1 entry for any male group in Soundscan history. As Making the Band’s superstar group Day 26 prepare to release their new album Forever in a Day, one thing is clear: It’s a brand new day.
Their story is already well-known to their fans, millions of whom tune in every Thursday night to watch it unfold on MTV’s Making the Band. When he put out the call for vocalists in January of 2007, P.Diddy was looking for talented newcomers with superstar potential and a tireless work ethic. What he got when Robert, Will, Brian, Qwanell (Que), and Mike were finally selected in the blockbuster finale on August 26, 2007—the date that inspired the group’s name—was more than he, or the fans, could have ever anticipated.
As the guys struggled with realizing their dreams amidst breakups, hookups and fights that shook the home they shared with MTB’s Danity Kane and Donnie, their fans have gained unprecedented access to the highs and lows of fame. “It’s definitely a blessing and a curse at the same time,” laughs Brian. “The fans actually get to see who Day26 is as individuals and how we mesh together.” It’s a process that has only strengthened them as a group, and helped evolve the sound on Forever and a Day.
“It’s such a blessing how we can grow and get tighter as a group.” Says Que. “Even though we might argue, we learn from it. It makes us tighter. We’re more of a family now.” With the added sense of group solidarity ushering in their sophomore effort, Day26 has also evolved through the recording process. “We’ve been a lot more hands-on with the process of this album,” says Mike.
“Forever in a Day was a collective effort,” adds Will, “The first album was mostly us proving we could sing, and I like to think of the second album as us making great music in general.” Collaborating with producers including Blaze, Bryan-Michael Cox and Jazze Pha, the guys have worked their personal experiences into the songwriting. “Perfectly Blind” was written by Qwanell in response to familial and financial pressures he dealt with very publicly on the show. Robert wrote “Truth is a Lie” about his experience of coming into the limelight under the watchful gaze of MTV cameras. “It’s about how I just want to be who I am, and how we try to keep it honest with our fans.”
Even with the thoughtful lyrics and serious issues they explore on Forever in a Day, Day26 wants to make one thing clear: “We attack the club on this one!” laughs Robert. While maintaining an emphasis on moving vocals, Day26 has expanded the sound with undeniable club bangers. Their first single, “Imma Put It on Her” featuring P.Diddy and Young Joc, perfectly illustrates the group’s new emphasis on dancefloor domination. Jermaine Dupri and T-Pain also lend their talents to the album.
As their story, and sound, continues to evolve, Day26 is still at heart a group of five guys with a dream. As Brian says, “We’re from five different cities, we have five different ways, and it’s definitely tested us.” At the end of the day, however, “we’re like brothers.”

Silkk The Shocker, P. Miller Form New Travel Biz Published Rap star Vyshonn “Silkk The Shocker” Miller and his older brother Percy Miller (formerly known as Master P.) have teamed with Gene Van Horn and World Ventures, to create a new affiliate marketing business. Miller’s latest endeavor, yourinvestmenttravel.com, and amazingtaylortravel.worlventures.biz shows budding entrepreneurs and home-based travel agents how to earn money in the travel industry, which is a $ 7 trillion dollar a year industry. World Ventures, which is a private company located in Dallas, Texas, has active representatives in all 50 states. According to Miller, the travel industry is an untapped market that hopefuls can tap into with a minimal investment, yet earn a high return. "Instead of spending a couple hundred dollars at the mall, you could put that money towards starting your own small business," said P. Miller. "If you just sacrifice $500 from your weekly personal expenses and invest that in yourself, you will not only be able to afford more in the future, but you will also be building generational wealth for your family." According to Miller, he hopes his latest business endeavor with his younger brother will be a model of success for those attempting to break into the lucrative industry. “This is not about entertainment,” Miller said of his new affiliate marketing company. “This is about exposing people to other opportunities that lead to financial freedom. If you are in the music business and you are waiting for that big record deal, you still need to eat and take care of your families now. It's time to be more responsible. What about life after Hip-Hop? If you can afford to buy Nike Air Jordan Collection for $310 or True Religion Jeans for $250 during this financial slum, than you can afford to invest $500 into your own business to secure your financial freedom for your future."
