If you still doubting this homey’s lyrical skills and flow…Then you need to re-evaluate your life and checkidy check yourself! One of the most talented rappers to come out of South Africa….The Kid with the X that marks the spot!

Kid X is undoubtedly that killer emcee who’s murked every feature he’s been on or jumps on. I would put him on my list of top 5 of the hottest and doppest rappers in the game right now and should get the respect!

Skhanda-Rap is some original flavor originated in our local segment. It’s dope what K.O did with that, that’s exactly what we need, artists who will create their own identity and craft their own style and path instead of following everybody else’s. But….I just think it’s not exactly Kid X’s flavor. Don’t get it twisted, this is not a diss, I’m just expressing my views as a hip hop lover and follower.

Listen to all the features Kid X is on…Starting with Amantombazane Remix, his verse caused mayhem last year and was argued over, as being the hottest verse on the song, just that some of the artists on the joint didn’t share the same sentiments.

Then he was on that Sorry Makhe joint…Another hit that came out of, probably the best year for local hip hop, 2014. He came out blazing and killed the joint!! My boy Tshego and I had a heated debate about who killed the track between Kid X and Maggz. . .Personally, I think Maggz did! But couldn’t hold back from giving the homey X credit for his sick verse, I mean respect should paid where it’s due.

Sean Pages, produced the Blind joint. . .which was genius of him to sample and incorporate old skool Kwaito sound with hip hop, something our hip hop acts are starting to do and that’s how it should, we give more credit to international artists sampling their own legends’ music than we do our own. It’s about time things changed and embrace our own culture of music. Again, the Kid murked that joint son! Now let’s go back to his own tracks. Cooler Bag, I wasn’t really impressed with the jam. Nice joint to those that love it yeah, but nah. #Seven is also another nice joint, but I feel like I’m not getting that mean murking Kid X I know!

My point here is….Kid X is one of the doppest acts in the game right now. . .It’s just Skhanda-Rap, is not really his craft, I feel like it’s not really allowing him to be himself and it confines him to a certain flavor, if you know what I mean. Yeah K.O kills it though….
