Hollywood, California rapper and entrepreneur Wakko the Kidd is maintaining a relentless pace with his sophomore effort, Infinity. Since his 2018 debut single “Multiple Racks” and his subsequent venture into the cannabis industry with his Airheadz strain, Wakko has steadily built his brand. Following his signing to Psychopathic Records by the Insane Clown Posse, he has become a staple at major events like the Gathering of the Juggalos and Hallowicked. Building on the foundation of his previous projects, In Airheadz We Trust and The Kidd That Did, Infinity arrives with significant anticipation, largely due to the fact that it is produced entirely by MIKE SUMMERS, a.k.a. Seven.
The album wastes no time setting the tone. After the intro, “17 Dead” serves as a direct homage to the classic ICP track of the same name. This transitions into “For the Haters,” featuring Esham, which utilizes a gritty, boom-bap instrumental to address the skeptics who have doubted the artist’s trajectory. The project then shifts gears with “Why,” a trap-influenced track that explores the frustrations of being unfairly scapegoated, followed by “Chasing Shadows,” a collaboration with Brotha Lynch Hung that frames jealousy as a toxic relationship.
The second half of Infinity, beginning with “Dark Skies,” highlights Wakko’s unwavering loyalty to JCW Commissioner Violent J, who provided him with a platform when others would not. The track “Mirage (High All the Time)” leans into a more atmospheric trap sound, allowing the artist to reflect on the illusions of trust in his environment. The album concludes with the haunting “Don’t Let Me Down” and the deeply personal “Save My Life,” which recounts a harrowing near-death experience.
While his earlier work established why Psychopathic Records saw potential in Wakko the Kidd, Infinity is the definitive project that silences his detractors. The production from MIKE SUMMERS, a.k.a. Seven, represents a massive leap forward in quality, providing a polished, cohesive soundscape that elevates Wakko’s performance. With a selective approach to guest features, this album proves that the West Coast artist has finally arrived.
Score: 8/10
