No Wyld is a Brooklyn-based alternative hip-hop group composed of rapper Mohammed "Mo" Kheir, singer-keyboardist-producer Brandon Black, and guitarist Joe Pascoe. Their music features stomping beats, ominous tunes, anxious lyrics, and airy atmospherics. Kheir and Pascoe met as university students in New Zealand in 2007. They met Black in 2009 and began collaborating. Originally called the Wyld, the trio released their debut album Preface in 2012. They then changed their name to "No Wyld" and put out the Abstract EP in 2013. It featured the song "Odyssey," which was used for a McDonald's commercial that ran during the 2014 Winter Olympics. No Wyld signed to Columbia Records in 2014. Their first full-length album for the label, Nomads, appeared in 2016. ~ Benjamin Schulz
