TwoTiime (born Khalid Omar) is a Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter and recording engineer from Ottawa, Ontario.[1]

Career

TwoTiime's music career began in 2019. His debut single, "Priceless," was noted for its lyrical content dealing with themes of loyalty and love.[2]

In 2020, TwoTiime gained further recognition when he caught the attention of Chicago rapper Polo G.[3][4] He later signed with Polo G’s label, ODA (Only The Dreamers Records), in collaboration with Columbia Records. This partnership was announced following the release of TwoTiime's music video for Priceless.[5][6]

In January 2025, a recording studio in Los Angeles that he mainly used was destroyed by a wildfire. The studio belonged to his sound engineer, Jeffrey Wright.[7]

Artistry

TwoTiime's music is characterized by a blend of rap and melody, with lyrics that reflect his personal narrative and the realities of street life.[8][1]

Discography

TwoTiime has released several singles, including "Hood Cry"[9] and "Keep It Real,"[10] which have collectively garnered over one million views on YouTube.[11][12]

His single "Hood Cry" is a tribute to the late Ottawa rapper FTG Metro who was fatally shot in January 2020.[11][13]

Personal life

TwoTiime has been open about the influence of his family on his career, particularly the support from his mother, who immigrated from Somalia.[1][14]

In 2021, TwoTiime was charged with gun-related offences. These charges were later stayed, with his lawyer stating that there was an absence of evidence against him.[15]
