Khaid and Fuji legend King Dr. Saheed Osupa link up on a new record called “Yasin,” a cross-generational pairing. It is a single that puts contemporary Afrobeats and street-pop beside traditional Fuji.
The record arrived through Neville Records, with BMH (Bolatito Obisanya) handling production. Khaid’s smooth melodies and expressive vocals run against Osupa’s unmistakable Fuji-inspired delivery. So the younger singer’s contemporary sound sits right beside the veteran’s traditional Yoruba musical influence.
The pull here is the meeting itself. Khaid has built his name on street-pop and Afrobeats, while Osupa comes from a Fuji lane with its own rhythm and phrasing. Hearing both voices on one production is the sort of cross-generational move that doesn’t happen often.
It also says something about Khaid’s willingness to test new directions rather than stay in a familiar pocket. Whether the blend works for you is another matter entirely.
