Khaid – Wacko Play

Wacko Play is a track from Khaid's new EP B4R&W — short for "Before Rich & Wacko" — released June 19, 2026. The 21-year-old Lagos-via-Ojo singer, born Sulaimon Shekoni Solomon, has been one of Neville Records' breakout signings since Sydney Talker discovered him through a viral freestyle back in 2021, and Wacko Play lands as the emotional centerpiece of this latest four-track project.

Over an arrangement that blends plaintive piano with layered background vocals, Khaid wrestles with the imbalance of an early, formative relationship — leaning into pidgin-laced lines about being made to "carry all the blame" while still missing what he's lost. It's a more reflective entry than the EP's higher-energy cuts, mixing English, Pidgin, and Yoruba inflections for a sound rooted firmly in Lagos. Coming after standout EPs Diversity and Emotions, Wacko Play shows Khaid leaning further into vulnerability without losing the melodic confidence that's carried his career so far.

Rating: 7.5/10.
