Kidwild

British rapper Kidwild is known for candid and contemplative narratives that often detail internal conflict. An actor first, he was in the cast of the CBBC children's drama Jamie Johnson when he began to pursue music, signing with major-label Atlantic at the age of 17, shortly after he self-released the track "Popular Loner." Although the deal proved to be short-lived, Kidwild made greater strides as an independent artist, charting for the first time with the 2025 single "Redemption," a track of steely determination and purpose, featuring a guest verse from Nemzzz. Job's Not Done, Kidwild's mixtape debut, arrived in 2026.
