Khaleedthefirst is an artist of two worlds, born in London but raised by the streets and culture of Benin
City. This dual identity has shaped his sound, allowing him to fuse alternative influences with the
heartbeat of Afrobeats. His journey is a testament to the idea that home is not just a place, but a set of
values and memories that you carry wherever you go.
His new single, “Ovie Edo,” is an ode to his heritage. He moves through the street of his upbringing,
calling out the landmarks and the heroes who shaped his perspective. By shouting out the streets of Benin
and Lagos, Khaleedthefirst creates a map of his life for the listener. It is a song for anyone proud of where
they started, proving that staying true to your origins is the ultimate power move in a world of imitation.
“Ovie Edo” is now available on all streaming platforms via ONErpm.
