Streetz-n-Young Deuces are back with a new single from their upcoming mixtape, "Next Day Air" – a track called "The Struggle" that features the much buzzed-about Gerald Walker.

With each new track I hear from SYND, I appreciate more the direction that they're going in – which is a much more mature path than several years ago. In the last year or two they've been focusing on crafting songs that speak on the greater grind that is life.

You can check out the new track here.
