Christopha and NEVUSSIDE Go Off on “Called Man Back”

By FusioNostalgia

Christopha and NEVUSSIDE have linked up once again, and this time they’ve delivered a pure Grime heater with their latest single “Called Man Back.” It’s the ninth release from 26 Miles and Running Part 2, the ambitious sequel to Christopha’s 2023 project where he dropped a track every two weeks for an entire year. Now in 2025, the marathon continues—and this track is a standout mile marker.

“Called Man Back” sees Christopha returning to his roots. Raised in North and East London, his foundation in Grime runs deep, and it shows. The energy, the wordplay, the confidence—it’s all there. This isn’t just a callback to where he came from; it’s a reassertion of who he is. A rapper, a writer, a relentless dreamer. One who left the corporate world to chase music, then returned to support his family, only to reignite his passion when stability allowed him to dream again. That journey is etched into every bar he spits, and “Called Man Back” is both a lyrical flex and a personal testimony. It’s Christopha answering the call—his own call to create, to represent, and to rise.

Teaming up with NEVUSSIDE was the perfect match for this track. NEVUSSIDE, known for his summer-soaked blends and genre-fluid production, flips the script here to bring the gritty, bass-heavy backbone that Grime demands. But even in that aggressive frame, his musical identity peeks through. There’s texture, soul, and nuance in the instrumental that complements Christopha’s bars rather than competes with them. It’s a producer/MC chemistry that feels effortless—natural even.

What makes this collaboration even more exciting is the contrast between their vibes. NEVUSSIDE is that sun-drenched daydream, the chill-hop house explorer with a melancholic undertone, while Christopha is the storm—deliberate, urgent, and always moving forward. Together, they find a balance that hits hard but lingers in the mind. This isn’t just noise; it’s message and mood. It’s old school energy with new school polish.

BBC Introducing has already clocked it, both on the local and national radar, and it’s only a matter of time before the wider scene catches up. Christopha is proving that consistency and authenticity win. That the marathon isn’t about how fast you run, but that you keep going. That every bar, every beat, every release builds the legacy. And with NEVUSSIDE bringing his unique sonic signature to the mix, “Called Man Back” is more than a track—it’s a statement.

So whether you’re already a fan or just catching on, don’t sleep. This one deserves to be played loud and often. Grime is alive and well, and Christopha x NEVUSSIDE are making sure of it.
