M Huncho - ROAD TO U20PIA (EP)

UK Trapwave mainstay M Huncho drops a surprise 6-track EP, ROAD TO U20PIA, offering a glimpse of what’s ahead as he builds on the evolved sound of his breakthrough mixtape, Utopia. The EP serves as a sonic pit stop, teasing elements of his next full-length project while taking listeners back to his roots with spacey, melodic trap bangers and his unmistakable vocals. On the lead single, "TRAP ACADEMY," Huncho floats effortlessly over a cinematic, Detroit-inspired beat, reflecting on how far he's come. The introspective "ANOTHER TAPE" sees Huncho opening up about the darker moments of his journey, while the upbeat "POSITIVE INFLUENCES" showcases his signature wavy-rap style. The EP concludes on a contemplative note with "SEAS OF SORROW," where Huncho touches on the pressures of fatherhood, the harsh realities of street life, and his quest for peace. ROAD TO U20PIA solidifies Huncho’s position as a key figure in UK Trapwave as he navigates personal reflection and artistic evolution.

An enigmatic figure from North West London, M Huncho is a testament to the power of hard work and staying grounded. Over the years, Huncho has delivered some of the UK scene’s most standout projects, freestyles, and interviews.
