Neville Records artist, KhaidΒ has finally dropped his first project titled "Diversity EP".
With a talent for merging emo-trap and Afropop, Nigerian singer-songwriter Khaid(real name: Sulaimon Shekoni Solomon) has all the makings of a star. His melodic TikTok freestyles earned him considerable traction and have made him the marquee artist at Lagos-based Neville Records (founded by comedian Sydney Talker) at just 17 years old. βFreestyling provides me with the opportunity to create flows and good lines,β Khaid tells Apple Music, βso when I want to write a song, I might take a freestyle and put lyrics to it.β
DIVERSITY is the result of an 18-month-long artist development schemeβduring which Khaid progressed as a songwriter, live performer, and fine art enthusiast. βThe EP shows how I lived in the past while diversifying into different genres of music,β says Khaid. βEach of us is made up of many partsβdiscover them all and enjoy the diversity.β Over six tracks, he blends the freedom of trap with local influences, and straddles the booming bass and heaving drums of amapiano as he reflects on his streetwise upbringing. By turns self-aware, confident and full of flair, Khaid is setting himself up to be the new wonderboy of Afropopβa goal he asserts across DIVERSITY with the recurring mantra βshleetβ, a term he created to signify βa young, fresh blood doing something newβ.Β
Enjoy!
