Christian Washington from New Orleans, Louisiana is a gifted rapper known to most as “Kidd”. “Kidd”, short for “Street Kidd” grew up in the uptown portion of New Orleans, more specifically the 12th ward. He grew up with a genuine love for music encompassing all genres. Kidd picked up a pen at a young age when he met his first producer and DJ, DJ Moon. DJ Moon showed him how to hone and perfect an original, yet familiar flow. Together they created an underground Mixtape titled “The Street Kidd”, hence the name.
Kidd came across Alex “Pac” White, an upcoming producer and engineer in the city. “From day one, it was magic”, says Street Kidd on working with Alex White. They would continue to work and bond over their love of real hip-hop as well as their mutual understanding of hip hop’s role today. This commonality eventually led to Alex White signing on to manage Street Kidd.
A year later Street Kidd would link up with producer and Traffic Boutique owner Lawrence “Crack Tracks” Parker. The rest is soon to be history get familiar with Street Kidd and his new Ep “Refuse 2 Lose” presented by Cracktracks.
Be on the lookout for more of his music as well as future 3rd ID x Streetkid collab tees and cover art.
