Posted by VMan on March 27, 2025

Pittsburgh-based artist Luwidakid is back with a bang, dropping his latest single, “True Colors” — a vibrant blend of Afrobeats and Hip-Hop that promises to set dance floors on fire. Known for his signature genre fusion, which he dubs “afro-jig,” Luwidakid continues to push musical boundaries with infectious rhythms, sharp lyricism, and undeniable charisma.

Born in Cameroon and raised in Northern Virginia, Luwidakid’s sound is a melting pot of influences. Drawing inspiration from icons like Bob Marley, P-Square, Kid Cudi, and Kendrick Lamar, he’s crafted a style that feels both globally inspired and deeply personal. After moving to Pittsburgh to attend the University of Pittsburgh, Luwidakid immersed himself in the city’s music scene, building a loyal following with his dynamic live performances and genre-bending tracks.

“True Colors” is the ultimate party anthem — bursting with lively percussion, catchy melodies, and an undeniable groove. The track was born last summer when Luwidakid’s friend Curley tagged him in an Instagram post featuring the beat. Instantly inspired, he penned the lyrics, determined to showcase not only his ability to craft feel-good bangers but also his sharp lyrical prowess.

“Once Curley sent me the beat, the flow just started playing in my head. I wanted to show my rap ability, so I made sure my verses were lyrically tight. When I recorded it at Nightfall Studio, everyone who heard it was blown away — the song just feels so good,” Luwidakid shares.
