Christopha x NEVUSSIDE Deliver the Vibes With “Where’s Summer?”

By FusioNostalgia

Christopha x NEVUSSIDE is the kind of collaboration that feels like it was always meant to happen. One is a relentless dreamer with bars sharp enough to carve out new lanes in UK rap, and the other a genre-blurring soundscaper who crafts music like it’s sunshine in audio form. Their latest single, “Where’s Summer?”, does more than just mark another chapter in Christopha’s ambitious 26 Miles and Running Part 2—it brings together wit, warmth, and waves of sonic nostalgia in a way that hits right where it needs to.

Christopha’s journey has always been about the long run. Raised in North and East London, he’s someone who understands what it means to chase a dream, stumble, get up again, and keep going. After leaving a Fortune 500 company to pursue music full-time, life forced him to pivot. Returning to the corporate world brought a period of disillusionment, stress, and self-doubt. But once he found his footing again, he reignited his fire with the original 26 Miles and Running project—dropping a new track every two weeks for a year, a full-on marathon of creativity and commitment. Now, in 2025, he’s at it again, proving the dream never really dies—it just reroutes until the time is right.

Enter NEVUSSIDE, the perfect partner for this leg of the race. With a vibe that stretches from the golden haze of chill hop to the upbeat tempo of house, NEVUSSIDE brings a sonic brightness that’s both nostalgic and fresh. A self-proclaimed advocate for individuality, he draws strength and inspiration from his unique birthmark—a nevus by his eye—which became the inspiration behind his name and message. His track record includes feel-good bops that shimmer with soul, like “Sun Is Shining,” a track that not only caught attention from BBC 1Xtra and BBC 6 but also landed on Spotify’s Ready For The Day playlist. His production has a way of slipping under your skin, warm and familiar but with that modern polish that makes it impossible not to move to.

“Where’s Summer?” is a song that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and that’s exactly its charm. As Christopha pokes fun at the unpredictability of British weather—seriously, where is summer?—he wraps it all in humor that anyone who’s ever packed shorts for a UK beach trip can relate to. With lyrical nods to classic pop culture references and a chorus that sinks into your head like a perfectly timed ice cream jingle, it’s a reminder that music can be both clever and carefree. NEVUSSIDE’s production turns the grey skies of the British Isles into a backdrop for a beach party, layering mellow grooves and sun-tinted melodies with effortless cool.

This track isn’t just about summer; it’s about reclaiming joy in the face of disappointment, dancing in the drizzle, and laughing through the letdowns. It’s cheeky, catchy, and completely real—just like both artists at its core. Whether you’re lounging in the park under a rare patch of blue sky or stuck indoors with the rain tapping on the windows, “Where’s Summer?” is the kind of track that brings the sunshine to you. Christopha x NEVUSSIDE is a duo to keep watching, because when storytelling and sound design come together like this, it’s more than music—it’s a mood.
