RH First Look: The Kid Daytona
The Kid Daytona can flat our rap. That was one of my first thoughts after hearing the Lanky BX native, who hit the scene with a remake of Tribe Called Quest material handled with care and knowledge as well as guidance from Hot 97's Cipha Sounds. There's something a bit more to The Kid, as witnessed in his second successful "concept" project, The Daytona 500, a seven song EP in which producers from Double O to 6th Sense reinterpret Bob James' "Nautilus". The record gets better, as Daytona adds to the songs by weaving stories about career take-off, as each song contributes to his ultimate flight. We caught up with The Kid to talk about his last EP, as well as the main course, Come Fly With Me, set to drop later this year. Daytona also talks about working with Cipha Sounds, and how the loss of his parents has impacted his music. Check it all out below as The Kid Daytona goes under the RH First Look Microscope.
