Fresh off a monumental 2025 run that saw him dominate the charts with the viral anthem “The Matter” (featuring Medikal) and the high-octane “Top Speed,” Ghanaian breakout star Lalid has officially kicked off 2026 with a brand new street anthem titled “Wicked.”
Known for his gritty lyricism and his unique “Tema-to-the-World” bounce, Lalid has quickly become one of the most exciting voices in the West African drill and Afrobeats scene. “Wicked” serves as a bold follow-up to his December 2025 releases, proving that the young hitmaker has no intentions of slowing down as he races toward his goal of global stardom.
Produced with a heavy, bass-driven rhythm that perfectly complements his rapid-fire delivery, “Wicked” is more than just a song; it’s a statement of resilience. Following his high-profile departure from Ground Up Chale in late 2025, Lalid has used his independent platform to speak directly to the hustle and hunger of the youth in Accra.
The track carries the same infectious energy that pushed “The Matter” to the #1 spot on the Ghana Music Top 10 Countdown last October. With catchy hooks and raw, unfiltered bars, Wicked by Lalid is expected to become a staple on TikTok and radio airwaves across West Africa this quarter. Listen to Lalid – Wicked below.
