Kid Vib3s built a haunted sermon for outliers in his dark trap hit, ‘WICKED HOURS’ –

Kid Vib3s didn’t need clichéd Halloween tropes or worn-out horror hooks to summon darkness in WICKED HOURS. The track, dropped on October 31st, carries its own sinister current through reverberating basslines, unnerving aesthetics, and a nocturnal vibe that haunts long after the beat fades. Lyrically, it hits like a confessional séance, exorcising demons born from sleepless nights, while toasting the misfits and wanderers. He might be riding solo through the trap scene, but he’s far from directionless; if anything, he’s the Albert Camus of trap, penning existential scripture to distorted rhythm.

The production is sharp, immersive, and riddled with intention, engineered by Kid Vib3s himself. His flow isn’t polished for mainstream consumption, it’s cut with a serrated edge that catches and lingers. The trap drums roll beneath like seismic unease. And while the vibe is undeniably infectious, there’s substance to latch onto; an emotional weight hidden in the cadence and charisma.

Before the laptop and late-night beats, Vib3s was just a kid struggling to squeeze sound out of a school trumpet. That same stubborn refusal to quit became the engine behind his self-made rise as a producer, rapper, and engineer. From Something in My Cup to his upcoming full-length project VIBAD3LIC, every release documents the restless alchemy of turning insomnia, introspection, and ambition into a sound that hits deeper than the surface.

WICKED HOURS is now available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify and YouTube.
