Friends, Romans, countrymen and B-girls that like that fly Hip-Hop, lend The Kid Daytona your ears as he embarks on a journey that fully encompasses beats, rhymes and life. From being lifted while standing on the hill, the entire fly lullaby is finally here. Presented by universal swag outfitter L-R-G, The Interlude takes bits and pieces from several of Hip-Hop’s storied timeouts and works the magic to create an unified sound.

The title to Outasight’s new project is stemmed from an absolute classic song that most folks haven’t heard but I’ve been sitting over for close to a year now. It symbolizes the sheer optimism OU has layered his music with since day one. An accompanying soundtrack for the common man (and woman). Never say anything that hints of the negative because the right outlook could shift any situation to the positive and beyond. Read the rest of this entry »

Flipping a Tribe sample? Always a good move if you’re trying to create music with ample amounts of soul and swing. 6th Sense does it right on the ones and twos, changing the tune enough to sound fresh while triggering your remembrance of beats and rhymes past. And of course the tune contains the appropriately jazzy caterwauling from Yonkers’ finest, Out-ahhh-site. Can we get Q-Tip or Phife for the remix? Read the rest of this entry »

Seeing that getting to the highest plateau is the ideal benchmark to set in the rapper gene pool, it comes as no surprise that The Kid Daytona feels like he’s “On The Hill” with the lyrical tirade he displays on the first official leak from The Interlude LP. Quite frankly, the opening verse alone contains more wit than you’ll find in some of his opposition’s entire projects. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m sure I went on the record at one point of time, saying how 6th Sense was my favorite producer of the moment. No, he’s not rivaling a Dre or a Premo because that takes years of fine-tuning but whenever you see “Prod. By 6th Sense,” you know you’re in for a quality recording. Read the rest of this entry »

Contemplate this. Every summer deserves its theme music. It also takes precise calculation combined with unplanned execution to create such a song. The Kid Daytona and 6th Sense have created such a track; taking a breezy Tribe sample and capturing the feel of air conditioning in audio form. Read the rest of this entry »

Mick’s upbringing and lifestyle may be slightly different the Frank’s but they still share one important trait. Read the rest of this entry »

Being as that nobody buys hard copy albums these days, the name distinction between mixtape, EP and LP matters very little. Technically Donny Goines’ 20X gets the EP label by virtue of its 6 track length, but the purpose here is to build on momentum, to change last year’s sleeper status to New York cover boy in 2010 and beyond.

What do Outasight and Asher Roth have in common? They’re both phenomenal singers, that’s what! O.K., O.K., so that was a bit of a white lie; Ash’s singing chops aren’t quite there yet. But they both know how to get artistic over a 6th Sense beaaaat y’aaaaaaal!!! Read the rest of this entry »

One of last year’s premiere listenings still has legs and the quality to boot, now courtesy of the One Shot trio of Court Dunn x Restless Films x Nah Right. As the offer to Come Fly With Me still stands, The Kid Daytona can groove in any type of hue especially over an stylistic and chic 6th Sense beat. Newcomer Tiara Wiles adds her own dose of color on the hook as well. Read the rest of this entry »

Words by Landon A.

As we gain steady momentum into 2010, musical barriers continue to be shattered as a white bread dude (much like the reviewer on hand) who calls himself Outasight, teams up with the folks at Lifted Research Group to release a project layered with thick horn sections, crisp drums and real content. Broading the scope, the NYC vocalist’s creations cater to everybody from blue collared workers to lovers and partiers. He can rap, he can sang and he’s eliminated the fluff to deliver quality product with Further. Read the rest of this entry »

If you take a glance at the front cover for Outasight’s Further, you’ll notice it says Lifted Research Group Presents…

While the majority of their consumers probably have no clue what is behind the meaning of those LRG trees that decorate their threads, it’s a testament to the sophistication of the project that they would stamp their full government name on it. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s a simple tale of musicianship trumping backdoor industry politics, quid pro quo’s and shoddy talent searches. The man born Richard Andrew, who now makes his mother refer to him as Outasight is stabilizing his career in the pit of a artist recession. The journey didn’t begin or end with the signing of the contract. It just got more intense. Read the rest of this entry »

This guy Outasight is a regular Corey Hart type. Wearing his sunglasses at night at red carpet galas and Hollywood shuffles. But there’s nothing bourgeois about his music though. December 15th he takes his already substantial discography even Further with a new project sponsored by LRG and conducted by maestros 6th Sense & Cook Classics. Your eardrums are fixin’ for an eargasm. Peep the tracklisting below. Read the rest of this entry »
