Fourteen-year-old rapper Champz, son of global music star Wizkid, has shared the artists who shaped his debut project, Champion’s Arrival.
In a recent interview with Glitch Africa, Champz cited UK rappers and Afro-fusion stars such as J Hus, Asko, Nines, and Clavish as major influences. His sound blends Afro-swing rhythms with UK drill, delivering gritty flows and narratives rooted in street culture.
The young artist’s EP has already made waves, hitting Number one on Apple Music Nigeria’s top albums chart within just five hours of release and surpassing one million streams in its first 24 hours.
Champz’s rapid rise signals a promising start to his career, showing that his fusion of global influences with local flavour resonates strongly with listeners.
