Champz, the fast-rising Nigerian hip-hop and Afrobeat artist, returns with a new song called “Groove.”

The record was created by veteran record producer BG. That credit carries weight, because the beat is the backbone here. Champz rides the arrangement instead of fighting it, and the groove does the heavy lifting.

Before “Groove,” Champz had already introduced himself with a four-track album dubbed “Young Poet.” That project showed a rapper willing to stretch, and this new one pushes the same instinct further. He stays in motion, yet never rushes the pocket.

Each new drop gives listeners one more reason to keep his name on their radar. The production keeps “Groove” moving, and Champz keeps it grounded.
