East London’s Kidwild is back and coming in strong with his new single ‘Rock Bottom’. Stripped-back but heavy-hitting, the track blends haunting choral vocals and stark piano to powerful effect. Lyrically raw and razor-sharp, Kidwild lays it all bare, turning his lowest moments into fuel and turning pain into purpose. ‘Rock Bottom’ isn’t just a reflection of struggle, it’s a rallying cry – a powerful, motivational reminder to keep pushing when everything’s stacked against you. Fresh off a standout freestyle on the Victory Lap x Corteiz live set, Kidwild is proving he’s not just next up: he’s already here. From late nights in the studio to jet skis in Dubai – this is Kidwild’s come-up in full colour. The slick video shot by director Sam Fallover traces his rise from the grind of making records to living the life he once dreamed of. Welcome to the next chapter of Kidwild.
‘Rock Bottom’ is the follow up to Kidwild’s breakthrough debut EP ‘Distro Kid’ which landed in January to universal acclaim. 5 tracks of boundary-pushing modern rap, the EP featured breakout rapper Nemzzz on the #77 charting ‘Redemption’ and spotlighted Kidwild’s raw versatility – shifting effortlessly from moody, late-night introspection to sharp, punchy lyricism. Traversing themes of mental health, battling demons, relationships, family, the pitfalls of fame, the search for true friendship and the relentless grind, ‘Distro Kid’ captures Kidwild’s unfiltered journey through life’s highs and lows.
