Every once in a while an artist drops a short collection that says more in 20 minutes than some albums do in an hour. Champion's Arrival, the new EP from Nigerian hip-hop artist and songwriter Champz, whose real name is Boluwatife Ayodeji Balogun is one of those releases.
Boldly produced and tightly written, it’s an introduction and a manifesto rolled into one: Champz stakes his claim as a lyricist with a melodic sense and the kind of ear for beats that separates hobbyists from contenders.
Champion's Arrival is a confident, well-crafted statement from an artist who knows his strengths and isn’t afraid to show them. It’s short, sharp, and sincere—qualities that make it a strong first impression and a strong repeat listen.
For both casual listeners and serious hip-hop heads, Champz offers a compact collection of smart beats, sharp lyrics, and an atmosphere that promises bigger things ahead. If this EP is the arrival, the tour has just begun—and the rest of the city should take notice.
