VIDEO: The Kid Daytona – Shotgun

Thekiddaytona

The Kid Daytona is back with a new song and music video titled “Shotgun” which centers around following a beautiful model in the streets of New York.  However, there’s a catch to the video but you’ll have to watch and see what she’s actually up to.  The concept for the video was actually cooked up by Daytona who was responsible for writing the visual’s treatment.  Check out the music video below and read what The Kid Daytona had to say about “Shotgun”.

I wanted to do a little something different with the visuals for this record. Instead of doing a normal performance based video, I wanted to tell a story instead. A silent film or a vignette so to speak. The treatment was inspired by a story told to me by one of my OG’s… Basically saying that business done out of love brings you the result you love. And a woman that truly loves you unconditionally would go out of her way, no questions asked, as long as those actions are reciprocated. Shout out to model Alexis Lewis for a job well done! And also to the homies at JB Styles Barber Shop.

AUDIO: The Kid Daytona – Picasso Baby Freestyle

The Kid Daytona drops off a new freestyle over “Picasso Baby” which was one of Jay-Z’s standout tracks on Magna Carta Holy Grail.  Feeling inspired, Daytona decided to commandeer the instrumental and shares his worldly experiences.  Take a listen and download the track below and read what the Bronx native had to say about the motivation behind his latest effort.

With me headed back to France, I felt inspired to kick a few bars over Picasso Baby.. The whole fly art talk that Jay was displaying on the track, bought me back to my visit to Le Louvre. And all the images that I would see in text books, and magazines.. I was now seeing in person. Who’d have thought a kid from the South Bronx would be able to see other parts of the world, doing something that he loves and believes in.. And always dreamed of. Rap Music! Enjoy yall.

The Kid Daytona lets go of a new track called “Shotgun”.  According to Daytona, the laid back track was inspired by a few women he’s come across in his lifetime that he considers to be “ride or die” and influential.  Over smooth production Daytona keeps it honest and reflects on crossing paths with some women in his life and contemplates potential “what if” situations.  Take a listen to the newest leak from Daytona via the audio stream below.
