Hollywood, California rapper and entrepreneur Wakko the Kidd has been steadily building his reputation, and his sophomore effort, Infinity, serves as a definitive statement of his artistic growth. Since his 2018 debut single “Multiple Racks” and his subsequent ventures into the cannabis industry with his Airheadz strain, the artist has navigated the music landscape with a clear vision. His signing to Psychopathic Records and his consistent presence at events like the Gathering of the Juggalos have solidified his place within the scene. Following his previous projects, In Airheadz We Trust and The Kidd That Did, Infinity arrives with high expectations, largely due to the fact that it is produced entirely by MIKE SUMMERS, also known as Seven.
The album kicks off with “17 Dead,” a track that pays homage to the Insane Clown Posse, before transitioning into the boom-bap influenced “For the Haters,” which features Esham. This track serves as a direct response to those who have doubted the duo’s trajectory. The project continues to explore diverse sonic landscapes, with “Why” leaning into trap sensibilities to address external blame, while “Chasing Shadows,” featuring Brotha Lynch Hung, offers a sharp commentary on jealousy.
The second half of Infinity maintains this momentum. “Dark Skies” highlights the artist’s unwavering loyalty to Juggalo Championship Wrestling (JCW) Commissioner Violent J, acknowledging the support he received early in his career. Tracks like “Mirage (High All the Time)” and “Don’t Let Me Down” showcase a more introspective side, while the closer, “Save My Life,” provides a raw, personal reflection on a near-death experience.
Ultimately, Infinity is the project that justifies the hype surrounding Wakko the Kidd. With Seven’s production providing a polished, elevated soundscape, the album effectively silences critics and demonstrates that the artist is ready to command the stage. It is a cohesive, well-executed effort that stands as a high point in his discography.
Score: 8/10
