Inglewood, California bred MC, Kida, has walked an interesting path in his hip hop career. From his humble beginnings as a Roc-A-Fella Records street promoter to declining a recording contract from Death Row Records CEO, Suge Knight, Kida’s climb to the top never came without putting in work first.

Now, following his rise to blog fame in 2009, Kida blasts of the new year with an extremely dope DJ Skee hosted compilation mixtape, The Endemic, featuring guest spots from Crooked I, Kurupt, Talib Kweli, and Busta Rhymes. I came to know Kida after KevinNottingham dropped the 9th Wonder laced, Fight this Feelin’, and haven’t stopped listening since. This mixtape is a perfect introduction to the MC’s style &  production taste, and will also show listeners why I call him the long lost fourth member of Little Brother.
