​May Lemon Pick: Pylonz (feat. SOFY) - KhakiKid

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.

SOFY slides in with a crisp, cheeky verse of her own, matching KhakiKid’s offbeat energy with a relaxed swagger. Their chemistry is casual but electric—like two friends riffing off each other in a late-night jam session. “Pylonz” doesn’t take itself too seriously, and that’s its secret weapon. It’s clever, carefree, and cool without trying too hard—a perfect soundtrack for golden-hour wandering or a daydream out the bus window.

KhakiKid continues to carve out a unique corner of Ireland’s rap scene, and with collaborators like SOFY, he’s making that space feel wider, weirder, and wonderfully his own.
