During Rolling Loud weekend, ‘We Are Florida Podcast’ sat down with Soldier Kidd to discuss his latest project, Beauty in the Streets, his motivation, and what keeps him moving forward in the rap game. The Florida artist, known for his raw storytelling, opened up about his creative process, the impact of his music, and why he remains dedicated to his craft.
Soldier Kidd’s music has always reflected the realities of street life, but with Beauty in the Streets, he wanted to showcase a different perspective. “People only focus on the negative, but there’s beauty in the culture too,” he shared. His ability to capture both the struggle and the pride of his upbringing has made his music resonate deeply with his audience.
While many artists flood their projects with collaborations, Soldier Kidd took a different route, keeping Beauty in the Streets feature-free. “I feel like I’m the only one who can express the feelings I wanted for this,” he explained, emphasizing his need to keep the project personal and unfiltered.
Despite the challenges of the industry, Soldier Kidd remains driven by the messages he receives from fans. “I read messages where people tell me I saved their life,” he revealed. That type of impact fuels his passion and reminds him why he started making music in the first place.
When it comes to his own music rotation, Soldier Kidd keeps it real—his own project is in constant play. Aside from that, he name-dropped Tupac, and another artist he listens to daily but struggled to recall. His confidence in Beauty in the Streets is clear, calling it a “no skips” album that fans need to hear in full.
Though not big on college football, Soldier Kidd has his eye on the Buffalo Bills, suggesting they could make a comeback like the Boston Celtics. In the NFL, he refuses to bet against Patrick Mahomes, recognizing his dominance on the field.
As for Rolling Loud, when asked about attending, he simply laughed and said, “Man, they don’t let me go to Rolling Loud.” While he didn’t elaborate, his response hinted at some past issues that may have barred him from the festival.
Wrapping up the conversation, the We Are Florida Podcast crew encouraged Soldier Kidd to keep pushing forward. As he continues to carve his own lane, his music remains a voice for the streets—raw, unfiltered, and real. With Beauty in the Streets, he’s proving once again why his impact in Florida’s rap scene is undeniable.
