Kiddo CSA’s ’25’ EP Approaches a Million Streams as the Rapper Reflects on His Defining Track

The steady rise of Kiddo CSA’s 25 EP continues to affirm its place among the most significant releases of the year. The project, which has captured the attention of hip-hop listeners nationwide, is now closing in on a major milestone with nearly one million collective streams across platforms. It’s a moment that marks a defining chapter for the rapper, whose recent reflection on one of the project’s standout tracks, Survivor, sheds light on the deeper meaning behind the music.

In a recent Instagram post, Kiddo CSA opened up about the long and emotional process that went into creating Survivor. What might sound like an effortless expression on record was but then in reality, the result of months of struggle and growth. He revealed that it took him over five months to complete the verse — a delay that, at the time felt uncertain, but has since become an important part of the song’s story.

The rapper shared that the words didn’t come easily and for a while, the verse simply wouldn’t take shape. But when the moment finally arrived, it did so with purpose. Through that experience, he came to understand the timing of it all — a creative pause that ultimately reflected the same perseverance the song speaks about. Survivor, as he described, became his favourite track on the 25 EP because it encapsulates everything he endured up to that point and the resilience that carried him through.

Beyond its introspective writing, Survivor also gained additional depth with a powerful feature from Jay Jody, who delivered the second verse. The collaboration brought the song full circle, grounding it in shared experience and reinforcing the message of endurance that threads through the entire 25 project.

As the 25 EP edges toward its streaming milestone, the numbers tell one story, but the song itself tells another being one of the persistence through creative droughts and personal battles. The project’s reception has been marked by a consistent growth in listenership, reflecting the connection audiences have formed with its sound and themes.

“Survivor” stands as a pivotal moment on the 25 EP, highlighting the emotion, honesty and persistence that define Kiddo CSA’s current chapter. As the artist expressed gratitude for the response, he closed with a note that echoed the essence of the song itself and appreciation for the journey and acknowledgment of the strength it took to get here.

With the 25 EP on the brink of surpassing a million streams collectively, Survivor remains the emotional anchor of the project with a reflection of resilience, timing and the quiet victories that shape every artist’s path.
