Calid B

Inspired by Calid’s upbringing as a first-generation African, Calid aims to unite the African diaspora through music, healing, and curated experiences. Calid has coined his own genre, AfroBang, that fuses together hip hop and afrobeat music. His early Afrobang influences were rooted in family, with his father being from the Ivory Coast and his mother being from East Orange, New Jersey.
