BlaKid portrays his purpose, and not only his music but also his name says much. Short for \u201cBlack Identity,\u201d the Osu-born artist rallies behind the \u201cBlack Star\u201d insignia as a Ghanaian while using his music to spotlight language, culture, and community.<\/p>\n
He raps and sings in Ga, Twi, and English, effortlessly blending them to create a sound that feels both local and wide-reaching.<\/p>\n
Born Emmanuel Kabu Ocansey, Blakid stands out for his ability to naturally fuse raw lyricism with melodic flows. His use of the Ga dialect is a nod to his flair and intentional to his purpose. He wants to keep the culture alive and heard in a space that rarely puts it front and centre.<\/p>\n He gained more attention as part of Shatta Wale\u2019s \u201cAccra Invasion Project\u201d and later performed and collaborated with the dancehall artist. For BlaKid, he is carving a lane that bridges tradition and the now.<\/p>\n BlaKid\u2019s music is rooted in identity. As he shares his stories, he reminds people where they\u2019re from, and on DSCVRY today, we aid in his purpose.<\/p>\nCheck out sounds from BlaKid<\/h2>\n
