Khaid – 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. “Freestyling provides me with the opportunity to create flows and good lines,” Khaid tells Apple Music, “so when I want to write a song, I might take a freestyle and put lyrics to it.”
