A TRUE CREATIVE JOURNEY – Kida Kudz’s Journey from Rapper to Contemporary Artist

Making art is the biggest thing in rapper, performer and all-around renaissance man Kida Kudz’ life right now. “Some people have been following the old vibe I was trying to create. I can’t explain it, it just feels great,” says Kida, whose real name is Olukayode Odesanya and who goes by nom d’auteur Top Member.

The 27-year-old’s Fine Rubbish art exhibition debuted last month hosted by Nosakhari. The four-day SOAB festival of vibes and art appreciation unfolded in London’s upbeat Shoreditch borough, March 25 to 28.

Much like the top “Afro Jiggy” songs he’s known for — “Never Saw Us” and “Makaveli” — the renaissance man’s abstract paintings depict the artist’s journey from childhood to today, drawing on both the joy and the angst that spark contemporary art and illustrate the Nigerian diaspora.
