The Kid Daytona - Friendz (Video)

Another new video and freestyle from The Kid Daytona, who will always have a place on this blog. This time using the beat from a personal favourite KRS-One track of mine, he delivers "Friendz". He also explains the reason behing the song.

"While out in Annecy, France... I met some good people that reminded me of some friends from NYC. Here I was, in a place I've never heard of before landing there, feeling like I was right at home. I wrote these raps over KRS One's classic "A Friend" instrumental, mainly because I thought all of this "No New Friends" shit was corny... If new people come into your life and bring positivity, prosperity, and new money opportunities... I say welcome them with open arms! And on the flip side of that, having people in your life with no drive and a bunch of negativity isn't healthy at all... With that said, enjoy the visuals... "Friendz" "

Peep the video below.
