Music fans rejoice, The Kid Daytona lets loose his year-ending mixtape The Interlude II, sequel to 2010′s acclaimed release bearing the same name. As his stock continues to blossom along with universal recognition, the second part of the series looks to elevate the Bronx emcee’s name beyond the blogs and into iPods and car stereos of a new audience.

Everybody say cheese and get the freeze frame on the Kodak woman. Ladies love thugs and my thugs love Hip-Hop. Thugs love ladies and ladies they love Hip-Hop.
