Dublin native KhakiKid (real name Abdu Huss, insta @khakikid) has been rapping since his early teenage years in Crumlin and has a unique voice as an Irish-Libyan artist from a working class background. He’s had a dedicated fan base at home for quite a few years now but more recently he’s taking off to new heights with his new track Pylonz featuring British singer SOFY. The song, released at the end of April, is a playful, genre-blurring track that feels like summer bottled in three minutes. Known for his off-kilter style and witty, introspective bars, KhakiKid leans into a mellow, jazzy groove on this one—layering lo-fi beats with bouncy basslines and a touch of brass that gives the whole song a cartoonish charm. His verses are delivered with a smirking confidence, tossing out surreal punchlines and self-aware observations that straddle the line between goofy and brilliant.

AuthorHi!
I’m Sarah and I’ve been tasked with curating La Mansarda’s newest feature: Lemon Pick! This can be new or old music, poetry, art, movements or acts of humanity that embody the artistic celebration, cultural exchange and humanitarian values that La Mansarda celebrates. I met Ligia in 2021 on our first day at a new job and her bright and outgoing spirit had me hooked, we’ve been fast friends ever since (especially if you see us zooming around Dublin on our bikes!) I have the proud achievement of being at the first ever La Mansarda and have had the pleasure of volunteering at and attending many more events over the years. I’m from Dublin, Ireland and I love all the artistic culture the city has to offer. Archives |
