Described as a “…true testament to the true power of hip-hop”, Wahid has made an impression on the genre and purveyors of the culture. Member of musical groups Cap 6 and, more recently, See You Soon, the Bronx born/Orlando native has earned respect by many for his talent and has garnered levels of acclaim from listeners and peers alike. As co-owner of the label/multimedia company, 1349 Enterprises, joshua exemplifies what it means to be an artist who takes control of his own career.
Influenced by artists like Nas, Jay-Z, Black Thought, and Ghostface Killah, joshua, and his music, has been referred to as a “…compelling hybrid of old and new” since introducing his “…left-of-center, lyrically driven style…” (DJ Booth). Revered by listeners of “…feel good hip-hop” (earmilk), Wahid has opened shows for Vince Staples, KRS One, Saba, Bas, and more, early in his career. joshua blends exceptional lyrics with a nostalgic style that masterfully coexists with the modern music of today.
“It is refreshing to hear this take on rap from a new artist during a time when most seem to follow trends. Each track on The Gawd seems to have been birthed from an authentic place and is very easy to relate [to].” – earmilk”
Writing and rapping at the young age of twelve, Wahid, previously known as Joshua & Omega Crimson, has been recording and releasing music online since high school. Seven (EP), released on November 9th, 2018, marks Wahid’s first “official” release and has helped him amass a global audience. The momentum continued with the release of his 2019 single “Led”, and more music is set to follow in 2020.
Currently, Wahid continues to write and record; while simultaneously working to establish 1349 Enterprises as a legitimate entity in music and media. He, along with See You Soon, are set to release their first full length effort as a group in 2020.
