The Nigerian rapper, singer and songwriter hailing from London via Lagos and back Kida Kudz returns with his powerful first solo release of 2021 ‘Animalistic’ – a masterful blend of melodic Afrobeat and ‘AFRO JIGGY’ sensibilities with personal and pertinent subject matter. Written on the day one of his family members was taken away, ‘Animalistic’ explores the topic of incarceration and the discomfort and cultural issues around it.
Dropping today alongside an iO Filmworks directed video, the symbolic and conceptual visual sees Kida perform inside a burning bus of faceless prisoners, in front of a emblematic tree full of hanging lanterns and finally around a fire alongside his people – providing the perfect visual texture to explore these themes whilst simultaneously exuding the irresistibly body moving vibes of the track.
