Christopha’s latest single, “Shining Star,” marks the 21st release in his ambitious 26 Miles and Running Part 2 project, and it’s another reminder of why he’s one of London’s most inspiring voices in rap today. Known for his relentless consistency and thoughtful storytelling, Christopha blends jungle energy with his sharp lyricism to create a track that feels both urgent and uplifting. Over liquid drum & bass production, he delivers motivational bars aimed at anyone finding their way through the dark — a message that resonates deeply with his journey as an artist who never stops moving forward.
Born and raised in North and East London, Christopha has built a name on dedication and authenticity. His original 26 Miles and Running project in 2023 was a test of endurance, releasing a new song every two weeks for an entire year — a creative marathon that earned praise from BBC 1xtra and BBC Introducing. His final track of that series, “Back of the Bus,” was selected as Track of the Week, and his performance at the BBC 1xtra cypher at Madia Vale Studios showcased his lyrical depth and charisma to a wider audience.
Now, with 26 Miles and Running Part 2, Christopha continues that same spirit of persistence and evolution. “Shining Star” is not just another song; it’s a beacon — a reminder that even in moments of uncertainty, there’s light to be found through motion, music, and self-belief. As his journey unfolds, Christopha’s sound remains rooted in London’s pulse but aimed toward universal inspiration — proving that his shine is far from fading.
