The Kid Daytona - On the Hill
Artist: The Kid Daytona
Producer: 6th Sense
Album: LRG Presents: The Interlude
Label: Jack Move Inc.
If the rap game were a hill, The Kid Daytona would be the King… or would he be the fool? It all depends on your perspective, I guess. Despite beginning with a sampled rendition of the chorus from a certain Beatles classic, new single On the Hill finds the Bronx up-and-comer/freestyle series contributor sounding as witty and assured as ever; backed by the breezy jazz boardwork of Booth favorite (and fellow freestyle series participant) 6th Sense, Daytona drops verses packed with laid-back braggadocio. Rather than sticking with any particular topic, the artist spends most of the track jumping from one tangentially related image to another, but it’s hard to fault his stream-of-consciousness approach when the results are this entertaining: “My ego could fill the hole in Ground Zero, rollin’ round, windows down temp 20 below / Psh, they still sweatin’ me though / These n*ggas’ whole style resemble the fro on Tito.” Fans should keep it locked for the latest on LRG Presents: The Interlude, which has yet to receive a solid release date.

I'm really feelin' the jazzy-vibe of this track... And Kid Daytona's verses are "easy to digest" too... 3 - ***'s

Once again the jazzy production on this was taken too far, KD spit solid cereses throughout the track. The instrumental reminded me of elevator music. Not good.

As we heard from 6th's "It's a 6th Sense Beat Yo!!" project that dropped the other day, the man's one of the more versatile producers in the game, and he proves it again. A lot of emcees would kill to get a mellowed out beat like this, and Daytona takes it and runs. Dopeness.

Smooth, laid back, but funky in an indirect way. Daytona's flow can sometimes rock you to sleep, but the production combo with his vocals here is perfect iPod music. Good stuff.

This song is really chill and the lyrics aren't bad...I was just waiting for the line "I'm king of the hill like Hank."
