I’ve been wanting to feature Sy Ari Da Kid here at KN for a minute, but just haven’t had the opportunity timing wise. Well, that changes today with release of his new single “Dear XXL” produced by site favorite SMKA. As you can guess, the track sees the Atlanta emcee addressing the selection process for XXL’s infamous Freshmen list. If this is your introduction to Sy Ari Da Kid, I highly recommend you explore his back catalog (most of which you can find on LiveMixtapes or DatPiff) as he’s released some dope tapes over the past few years. Speaking of mixtapes, his new collaboration project The Lake Show with Lil’ Niqo is scheduled to drop this Thursday while his next solo tape Definition Of Definition 2 is due out later this month. Shout out to HipHopSince1987.com who premiered this joint.
