Khalid is one of the best new artists to emerge this year, and he’s only 18 years old. His breakthrough single “Location” has over 3.5 million plays on SoundCloud since it dropped six months ago, with the video racking over 400,000 views on YouTube in just over a month. Today, the El Paso native is sharing his excellent new single “Hopeless,” courtesy of a premiere by Zane Lowe on Beats 1.
As well as playing the track, Khalid talks about being an outsider at a young age, passion for music, getting high school behind him and keeping a good work ethic.
