Irish alternative voice KhakiKid returns with “Rude,” a vibrant new collaboration featuring Kojaque and guest vocals from Kean Kavanagh. Produced by Brién, the single brings together three of Ireland’s most compelling creatives for a release built on chemistry and controlled chaos.
Sonically, “Rude” thrives on momentum, playful yet sharp, balancing witty lyricism with an infectious, feel-good bounce. Each artist steps into their pocket naturally, creating a track that feels collaborative rather than segmented.
Directed by Robert Bass, the video amplifies that energy through a series of unpredictable and humorous moments. From live performance shots and car scenes to a surreal boxing ring exchange between Kojaque and KhakiKid, the visual leans fully into KhakiKid’s offbeat personality. A standout sequence sees him fleeing a bedroom window in comedic fashion, reinforcing the track’s carefree tone.
With major nominations, sold-out shows and viral traction behind him, KhakiKid’s momentum continues to build. “Rude” serves as the final single ahead of his EP Girl Bites Dog, arriving 17 April, a project set to mark another step forward in his ascent.
