ittsburgh-based genre-shifter Luwidakid returns in full force with “True Colors”, a vibrant, dance-floor-ready single that blends the warmth of Afrobeats with the punch of hip-hop. Brimming with energy, rhythm, and personality, the track is a showcase of the artist’s signature “afro-jig” sound — a term he coined to capture the effortless fusion of global grooves and lyrical grit that defines his style.
Born in Cameroon and raised in Northern Virginia, Luwidakid brings a rich cultural heritage to his music. His influences range from reggae icons like Bob Marley and Afrobeats legends like P-Square, to modern greats such as Kid Cudi and Kendrick Lamar — a lineage that’s felt in the melodic flow and lyrical depth of “True Colors.” Now firmly rooted in Pittsburgh’s music scene, he continues to craft a style that feels as personal as it is expansive.
“True Colors” is the ultimate summer anthem — bright, bold, and bursting with life. Luwidakid’s effortless charisma drives the track, while the production, sparked by a beat shared by his friend Curley, gives it an immediate kinetic appeal. From its bouncing percussion to its breezy hooks, the track embodies the kind of carefree confidence that turns a good song into a playlist staple.
What sets Luwidakid apart is not just his ability to craft feel-good bangers, but his dedication to sharp lyricism and narrative storytelling. “I wanted to show my rap ability,” he shares. “So I made sure my verses were lyrically tight.” That attention to detail pays off — his flow is nimble, his bars are clever, and the track as a whole hits with both joy and precision.
In “True Colors,” Luwidakid doesn’t just reveal his range — he celebrates it. It’s a song about owning your vibe, sharing your truth, and dancing through it all. And with more music on the way, it’s clear this rising artist is only just beginning to show what he’s capable of.
