After a brief hiatus, Day by Day Entertainment was relaunched on August 24, 2009.[2] After several years of relative inactivity the label released new material by MF Grimm and Ayatollah.
Part of the significance of the label's being a taste-maker of underground hip-hop music is its release of The Downfall of Ibliys: A Ghetto Opera of tracks recorded within 24 hours of going to prison, and American Hunger, which is MF Grimm's three-disc volume of new material recorded in 2006. The releases were well received by Pitchfork.[3]
