Christopha, a rising UK rapper known for his sharp wordplay and versatile flow, is back with his latest release, “Bangers and Mash”.
The track is the third installment from his visual EP I Am Christopha, which has already garnered significant attention in the UK rap scene. Blending elements of drill, grime, and UK rap, Bangers and Mash not only reflects his lyrical prowess but also pays homage to his British roots, drawing a clever metaphor from the classic British dish.
Following his standout performance in BBC 1Xtra’s ‘Rap Cypher’ at Maida Vale Studios, Christopha has consistently proven himself as one to watch. BBC 1Xtra and BBC Introducing have already highlighted him as a notable talent, and his unique ability to mix soulful beats with witty and skippy flows sets him apart.
In “Bangers and Mash”, he taps into his grittier side, delivering punchlines that showcase both his lyrical depth and his playful approach to music.
Christopha’s journey in the music industry is a testament to perseverance. He left a promising corporate career to pursue his passion for music, only to return temporarily to support his family before making his true return to the scene.
His year-long project ’26 Miles and Running’, where he released a song every two weeks, demonstrated his relentless work ethic and creative drive. Drawing inspiration from a range of artists like Kano, Common, and India Arie, Christopha’s music bridges the gap between grime, UK rap, and soulful storytelling.
As Christopha continues to make waves with Bangers and Mash, fans and critics alike are eager to see where this rising talent will take his sound next. With his versatile approach and determination, the future looks promising for this North and East London rapper.
