Rising UK rapper Christopha has made a resounding return with his latest hip-hop single, “Bug Out,” following a standout performance in BBC 1xtra’s Rap Cypher at Maida Vale Studios and a year-long musical project.
Touted as one to watch for 2024 by BBC 1xtra and BBC Introducing, Christopha is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. “Bug Out” is a monster hip-hop track that serves as a powerful workout anthem, delivering a message about defying the odds and proving the doubters wrong. The song captures Christopha’s unwavering determination and his commitment to overcoming challenges through his music.
Hailing from North and East London, Christopha is not just a rapper, but also a writer and relentless dreamer. His journey in the music industry has been marked by perseverance and resilience. Despite leaving a Fortune 500 company as a graduate to pursue music, he found himself returning to the corporate world to support himself and his family, leading to a period of stress, loss of confidence, and negative impact on those close to him.
However, after finding stability, Christopha embarked on an exciting new chapter with “26 Miles and Running,” a project where he released a song every two weeks for an entire year. This endeavor not only showcased his work ethic but also his dedication to his craft.
Drawing inspiration from artists such as Kano, Common, and India Arie, Christopha has crafted a sound that resonates with audiences and industry insiders alike. His standout verse in the 1xtra rap cypher, filmed at the legendary Maida Vale Studios, is just a glimpse of his immense potential and the impact he is poised to make in the music world.
“Bug Out” is a testament to Christopha’s artistry and his ability to create music that reflects the triumphs and tribulations of his journey. It stands as a testament to his resilience and unwavering spirit in the face of adversity.
