Early life

He left Nigeria and travelled to the U.K. at the age of 14 to live with his father and step-mother. Kudz found himself fascinated with already established genres in the country, such as grime, U.K. rap and even a touch of chessy pop.[3]

Music career

In 24 June 2022, Kida Kudz released a four track extended play titled World Citizens with Mr Dutch.[8][9][10] Rocket Launcher is a track in World Citizens that rides on Afro swing tendencies as it smoothly blends elements of U.K. and Nigerian Afobreats.[11] In 2021, Kida Kudz featured Bella Shmurda in single "Ball Until We Fall".[12]
