Wizkid’s first son Champz steps out solo again with “Groove,” a September 2026 release following his “Young Poet” EP .
The record lands after a major milestone, as the young rapper reportedly became the youngest Nigerian artist to reach one million monthly Spotify listeners . So there is real momentum behind this one.
Producer BG handles the beat here, and Champz shouts him out directly in the lyrics, calling the beats “from BG my family” . That personal touch gives the track a grounded feel. The sound leans into UK drill and Afroswing territory, which is a deliberate move away from the Afrobeats lane his father dominates . He rides the rhythm with conversational delivery, dropping lines about chasing peace and protecting his image .
The lyricism shows a kid who thinks beyond his years. He raps about losing everything in a blink and not letting females distract him from the mission . There is also a confident stretch where he claims he was destined for greatness before he was born. For a 14-year-old, the pen game carries surprising weight.
This release also stirred some online chatter, because streamer Peller reacted to the song with a clapping GIF, which had fans questioning his loyalty given his known support for Champz’s rival Ice King Ochacho . Still, the music itself stands apart from the noise. “Groove” gives Champz another chance to build outside a full project, and he takes it.
