“We’re young. We get drunk, we have sex, we party, we do drugs, we cheat/steal/lie, we really do whatever the fuck we want. We’re rebels.”
- Mach5

For those who don’t know tell us a little about yourself and how you guys met:
Corey Davis and A.ware, we first met in high school. I used to buy weed from A.ware on the school bus in the morning, but I didn’t know he made music. One day I did a track where I was tongue twisting, and everyone was like “You need to do a song with A.ware, he raps fast too.” So later that week I invited him to the studio with me and he murdered it. Before I knew it, we had become best friends. Pretty much, we’ve always been eye-to-eye on what type of music were going to make, what a particular song is about, what our image is and what we want to accomplish.

How did you guys come up with the name “Sex on a Sunday LP”?
It was actually the name of my ex-girlfriends air-band, it was a total joke, but I thought it sounded cool, so I jacked it. Sunday is like the perfect day to sit around and do nothing, but have sex all day; usually it’s my only off day. But then it almost seems sacrilegious to use the Sabbath to fornicate. I was raised in a family full of Christians, my grandfather is a pastor, and so Sunday was always “the Lord’s Day.” We just like the dichotomy of the title, so we stuck with it.

To promote your album you guys has condoms made with the album title on it, what made you guys want to do that?
We just enjoy finding creative ways to market ourselves. We were sitting around the house getting drunk and talking about ways to promote the album. Then Bingo! With the title being Sex on a Sunday LP, what better way is there to promote it than printing it on a condom? It was cohesive with our theme. They’re small and can fit in a pocket or purse. How often do you find yourself tossing a flyer or CD, simply because you don’t want to carry around it all day? Then we’re also promoting safe sex at the same time. It was perfect.

Who can we expect to hear on the project?
We’re not really big on features, we feel as if this is our album, we should show off our own talent instead of depending on the name and skill of others. That’s some rap shit, you don’t see legendary rock groups filling their albums up with features. We did a song with Dreamer of Hollyweerd and a few with Kara Kersey. We’ll save the collaborations for the Greedmont Park compilation album that’s coming out in February.

What producers did you work with? Why?
We worked with producers across the world, like Berlin’s DJ Donna Summer. It was kinda hard to decide which songs were actually going to make the album. Most notably, Christian Rich, who produced a song for us called “Talk“, they been making some major moves lately. We also got so tracks from A.D.D productions, Everrett James, Londastic, Ethereal, and many more. It was really a collaborative effort, kind of like a Gorillaz album.

How does “Sex on a Sunday LP” differ from your first EP “Stepchild”?
We was still learning when we recorded the Stepchild EP, we didn’t really have a set plan, we just used the beats producers gave us and made an album. The Stepchild EP was for the kids, we barely even cursed. At the point in our lives we felt like people was overlooking us and leaving us out just like a stepchild. In the end, people were trying to label us as “conscious rappers.” And that’s not really something we appreciated. We’ve always shared an appreciation pop culture; we want to be icons. With the Sex on a Sunday LP we was just focused on making good music, not just hip-hop, but music. Something people all over the world could relate to. Pop music. Something that makes people feels good motivate people. We tried to capture all of our vices; we live a life of debauchery. We’re young. We get drunk, we have sex, we party, we do drugs, we cheat/steal/lie, we really do whatever the fuck we want. We’re rebels. The sampler is composed of everything that didn’t make the album, so if you liked that than you will love the LP.

What else can we expect from the guys of Mach5, in the future?
Greatness. We’re about to do a Rock Edition of the Atlanta Indie Fest. But we’re really focused on breaking out of Atlanta right now, so we got alot of shows lined up across America and even the UK. Besides that look forward to the collaboration album were doing with Grammy-nominated producer, TKRP and the Greedmont Park Compilation album featuring all of your favorite rappers in Atlanta.

Tell the readers why they should get the album? And when can we expect for the release?
The album comes out December 15th and it’ll be available on iTunes.
