Christopha is an artist who knows what it means to run the long race. Born and raised in North and East London, the rapper, writer, and relentless dreamer has built a reputation not just through his lyricism, but through his sheer consistency and vision. After a long absence from releasing music, he came back in 2023 with a mission: a song every two weeks for an entire year under the project 26 Miles and Running. That creative marathon didn’t just showcase his work ethic—it earned him the attention of BBC 1xtra and BBC Introducing, who named him one to watch, highlighted his single Back of the Bus as Track of the Week, and invited him to deliver a standout verse at the BBC 1xtra cypher in the legendary Madia Vale Studios.
Now, Christopha is pushing forward with 26 Miles and Running Part 2, and his newest release, “Somehow Someway,” marks the seventeenth track in this ongoing journey. With rapped verses laced with sharp introspection and a rap-sung hook that lingers, the song captures resilience, lessons learned, and the determination to keep moving despite obstacles. It’s as much about the grind as it is about self-belief, a reflection of bridges burned, setbacks faced, and the vision to rise above them.
Christopha doesn’t just make music—he crafts a narrative of perseverance, grit, and reflection. His projects serve as both personal documentation and a message to listeners: the road isn’t easy, but the journey matters. “Somehow Someway” feels like a statement of intent, an affirmation that recognition will come in due time. With nine songs still to go this year, Christopha’s momentum hasn’t slowed; in fact, it’s only building. Overlooked, underrated, but refusing to stop, he continues to prove that persistence carves its own path. The marathon continues.
