On track two off Booth-sponsored mixtape The Endemic, Kida introduced listeners to a phenomenon called The Change Up, in which the people you thought were your homies seem to forget who you are just as you begin showing signs of success. Today, the West Coast up-and-comer’s back with a version of the track that has itself been Changed Up – but not necessarily for the worse. In addition to a softer, string-driven beat by Focus… (replacing Siege‘s pensive synths), this revamp boasts a brand new verse from Philly street veteran and recent Booth favorite Freeway, who commiserates with the headliner’s complaints (and stacks a little paper) on the back end. The obvious question: is this tweaked version preferable to the original, or should Kida have left well enough alone? Whichever you consider superior, you can hear plenty more where this came from on The Endemic, available here for free streaming and download. Also, watch for Kida to step into the Booth with an exclusive freestyle when our series returns in the coming weeks!

The original version was OK, but this is a step up. Freeway has impressed me with just about everything he's touched over the past 6 months and nothing changes on "The Change Up". Kudos to Focus... who continues to churn out catchy production. Nothing crazy, just consistently good.

This is some good laid back hip-hop, best I've heard from Kida so far.. Freeway outshone him though

Definitely dig this version more than the Original on mixtape. One of those rare case when a repeating sound is not annoying, but instead captivating throughout. Rotation fa sho!

It's cool.. My first time hearing Kida.. He's not bad at all. Freeway definitely gives the song that extra that it needs...

Definitely a head nodder. Another quality track from Kida, I'm beginning to think it's the only kind of track Kida makes.
And in response to your question @jbuntyn90, Traezon contacted us and asked us to pull the song - he wants to release it at a later date.

This song was just ok. I did like the beat but it was just a little to slow for my taste but it was still a nice song

Kida did not really blow me away or impress me. it was all kinda normal and ok. the Hook was also kinda boring. the production didnt really do much for me. it was soo simplisticly boring. this track would have been garbage without...FREEWAYY!!
Wish this Dude would get that recognition he deserves. been a fan for as long as i can remeber and he never realy dissapoints buts a 2 would have been a 1 tho |
