VIDEO: “On the Hill” – The Kid Daytona
Saw this over at SW Reverb courtesy Nick Feldman. I caught wind of the LRG promotional outing to the San Juan Islands (my hometown) via a brief Twitter exchange with 9th Wonder back in January. Check out the previous post, here.
Turns out the influential streetwear company also bankrolled a music video for Bronx-based emcee The Kid Daytona. It’s an unlikely setting for a rapper from the Boogie-down, but then again I never would have predicted I’d end up living in Harlem for three years when I was a bored and clueless teen attending keg parties in the middle of the woods on Lopez Island. Funny how life goes.

A few months back I caught wind of a Tweet from 9th Wonder saying something about being in the San Juan Islands. I was trippin’ because that’s where I grew up and I thought it was kinda crazy that 9th would be chillin’ out there. So I hit him back on Twitter that day and he confirmed it. Then today I caught this over at the Northwest State of Mind blog. It must explain 9th’s trip to the islands:
I guess it’s not so far-fetched. After all, one day I rode the Airporter Shuttle from the Anacortes Ferry Terminal back to Seattle with the homie Vitamin D. And then there’s this. San Juan Islands — we major!
