With most genres these days dominated by throwaway sound bites and instant forgettable hooks, Christopha, from North and East London, is simply building something that lasts. His most recent single, "Builder Phone," adds more bricks to the impressive house his ambitious 2023 project, "26 Miles and Running," has built so far, where he released a new track every two weeks for an entire year. On this latest release, Christopha shows he isn't slowing down, just levelling up.
"Builder Phone" rumbles with the kinetic force of Alternative Hip-Hop, yet its spirit is pure Christopha introspective, down-to-earth, and forever dreaming. The beat clatters like scaffolding on pavement, gritty, purposeful, unrefined in all the right ways as Christopha's cadence shifts between builder's grit and poet's introspection. His lyrics are architectural blueprints not only for success, but also for an attitude, one that demands your right to build a road of life, brick by brick. It's more than just a track, it's A statement. So Christopha is not waiting for permission to make art, he's dialing into his calling, fusing themes of work ethic, community, and self-belief. He's rapping, it is obvious that this isn't all about the come up. It's about staying built.
On "Builder Phone," Christopha gives us the tools and flips the blueprint to show how dreams get made, one verse at a time. This is music that's more than music, it's construction in motion.
