East London’s genre-fluid rap force Kidwild announced his debut mixtape ‘Job’s Not Done’, set to land on 27th February, and shares its powerful title track, out now. A statement of growth, resilience and resurgence, the project marks a new chapter for an artist whose momentum is building fast, capturing both the hunger of his rise and the clarity of his return.
‘Job’s Not Done’ continues the cinematic narrative first introduced with the recent single ‘Still Indecisive’. Where part one explored intimacy, vulnerability and emotional freefall, part two opens in a church surrounded by religious symbolism before shifting through striking scenes of Kidwild floating in a swimming pool, pushing through exhaustion in the gym, boxing through frustration, paying respects at a graveside and finally stepping into a post-match style press conference. Together, the visuals form a multi-part story of reflection, discipline and comeback, unfolding across this release cycle.
On the track itself, Kidwild lays his truth bare over skittering production and ghostly vocal textures. “I came from nothing, somehow made it work,” he declares, confronting pain, lost faith and determination with raw honesty. It’s a motivational anthem that embodies the spirit of the project, focused, fearless and forward-looking.
‘Job’s Not Done’ as a mixtape tells the story of Kidwild’s journey from early promise to powerful return. Once a teenage prodigy with a major label deal at just 17, his path was briefly stalled before he rebuilt on his own terms. Rather than slowing him down, the experience sharpened his vision, discipline and independence. Across soulful, introspective production and emotionally open bars, Kidwild reflects on growth, ambition, family and the hunger that fuels his resurgence.
Alongside the title track, the project brings together recent standout releases including the vulnerable ‘Still Indecisive’, the deeply personal ‘Forgive Me’, where Kidwild reflects on distance, family and resilience, and the triumphant ‘Remontada’ ft. Blanco, a song that mirrors the spirit of comeback that runs through the heart of the mixtape.
With millions of TikTok views, co-signs from Skepta, Central Cee and Nemzzz, and tips for 2026 from The Guardian and Billboard UK, Kidwild’s momentum is undeniable. His return has been met with growing excitement, positioning him as one of the most compelling and emotionally open new voices in UK rap.
