Live and direct from the U.S.A.’s Spanish terriority, The Kid Daytona is broiling his vowels—The Interlude, exotic and international—in the pot until the ingredients are seasoned with utmost flavor.

Inspired by their “Brain Candy” series and most likely plenty of wild, drunken nights, Naledge and Double O have embarked on another international adventure in between projects. Semester Abroad highlights the Kidz’ fantastic G.P.A. over the past few months and few of the classmates (Curren$y, Smoke DZA, tabi Bonney, The Kid Daytona, etc.) helping them cheat through language arts class.

Can we go ahead and give DZA his own strand of O.G. Kush already? The man reps for marijuana like a D.A.R.E. commercial (just on the opposite spectrum). Amazingly though, Big Smoke Dog has avoided the four walls and convenient roofing of being boxed in as “weed rapper” as he consistently paints his life’s memoirs in between the papers lines, amongst the blunt ashes.

Fresh from receiving the nationwide spotlight on 106 & Park, Daytona the Kid is celebrating in Manhattan with Gangsta Gibbs and plenty of groupie love with yet another drop from The Interlude.

When is the last time you saw one of your favorite Internet rappers on 106 & Park?

The road to a song’s creation is one of my favorite things to witness in music production. So it’s no surprise that Kidz In The Hall’s first Brain Candy flick caught my attention.

It won’t be cold forever this year and if you’re looking forward to lamping in the Hamptons like the distinguished members of the Atlantic coast, L-R-G, some your favorite artists and an eclectic mix of sportsters will show you how to look cool when you’re catching a cool breeze.

Double O must have known he would be slept-on in 2010, yet that didn’t quell his drive to churn out quality throughout the year. So when he states, If You Didn’t Know…I Produced It, you’ll know he’s not ego-trippin’ but just giving some of you a slick reminder not to snooze on the Kid who wears a holster to keep his drumsticks in.

Head is spinnin’ but I ain’t sure if the earth was
