• M Huncho is a masked British rapper and singer from North West London. He's credited as one of the main architects of the UK trap/rap movement that sits between road rap, trap and more polished, chart-friendly hip-hop. Other core members include D-Block Europe and Nafe Smallz.
  
  Released as a single on January 22, 2026, "Championship" finds Huncho operating in full victory-lap mode, though not in the chest-thumping, champagne-spraying manner traditionally associated with rap braggadocio. Instead, the song revolves around health, family, and long-term success, presenting achievement as a marathon rather than the sort of reckless sprint that tends to end with luxury purchases and mildly regrettable Instagram captions.
• "Championship" finds M Huncho in self-improvement mode. In a January 2026 appearance on the Old & Bald podcast, Huncho described "Championship" as representing an "elevated version" of himself, noting that the track intentionally leans into emotional depth and vulnerability. He explained that the song explores the unavoidable realities of adulthood, particularly the difficult choices that arise when success creates as many potential pitfalls as opportunities.
• The production features Huncho's signature "trapwave" sound courtesy of the producer Kalo. This is Kalo's first placement with a major artist.
• The Red Moons collective (Tom van Groningen, Ivar Atilgan, and Bas Haselage) directed the music video. Both the video and accompanying artwork draw inspiration from football culture, an influence that reflects Huncho's long-standing support of Arsenal FC. The visuals subtly reference the club's legacy, particularly its famed "Invincibles" era.
