Young Khaliq

Rapper Young Khaliq is bringing something fresh and exciting to the Florida rap scene that it has been missing for a long time. The twenty-five-year-old emcee grew up during the internet phase that included a handful of budding Florida artists seeing stardom and the Soundcloud wave dominating the game. Inspired by the likes of XXXTentacion, Nipsey Hussle, Lil Wayne, J. Cole, and Young Thug, Khaliq channels his emotions through his pen and expertly paints a picture of his life thus far over dark and foreboding instrumentation. His authentic storytelling has led his songs to acquire tens of thousands of streams, and his latest project, “Forsaken Vibes,” is a nine-track dive into his psyche as he breaks down his life experiences for the world to see. The Gainesville local is looking to go global with his sound, and his unwavering dedication to the game just might get him there sooner than he thinks!
