The Kid Daytona – Lavender Life [Audio x Download]

Here goes the second leak from The Kid Daytona’s “Savoir Faire” LP, produced by Gizzle Beats. The title “Lavender Life” expresses some of the many excursions I’ve been involved in NYC nightlife – from staying up so late, to a point where you look up at the sky that it almost appears as purple. Join me on this journey as I paint the picture of a party life in NYC; from some of the current places I frequent, to some of the legendary spaces that I wish I would’ve gotten to explore. – Daytona
