Born Henry Chukwurah in Lagos, Nigeria and raised in Bellflower, California, 20-year-old Kid 88 is quickly proving himself to be one of the most dynamic emerging voices in hip-hop. Fusing melodic rap with rock, Afrobeats, and emotional trap soul, he defines his sound as “international,” refusing to be confined to any one genre.

ALL THIS WEIGHT is more than just a debut—it’s a statement. Across five tracks, Kid 88 dives deep into the universal human experience, tackling themes of faith, love, heartbreak, self-doubt, and inner strength. “These are emotions we all go through,” he says. “Whether you’re losing someone, believing in yourself during hard times, or trying to stay strong—this EP is a mirror of what life feels like.”

The newly released video for “Mile Runner”, directed by Nick Welch, brings the track’s message of resilience and drive to life. With powerful visuals and a performance-driven storyline, the video reflects the emotional push-and-pull of chasing something greater—despite the weight that life puts on your shoulders.

Inspired by the freestyling genius of Juice WRLD and spiritually guided by his faith, mother, and Prophet Lovy, Kid 88’s music comes from a deeply personal place. “God used the quiet of the Covid lockdown to open the door for me,” he says, reflecting on his start creating music through GarageBand with a pair of earbuds. Since then, he’s collaborated with artists like Li Rye, Jahkai, and Foolie (known for “Maserati” featuring YNW Melly), all while honing a voice that resonates with vulnerability, confidence, and spiritual depth.

With more releases coming throughout the summer and a clear vision to hit stages and connect with fans in 2025, Kid 88 is up next. His ability to translate real-life struggle into genre-defying sound makes ALL THIS WEIGHT more than a debut—it’s a mission.
