Champion Q&A with Candice Carty-Williams | BFI Q&A

Champion is the much-anticipated first TV project for Candice Carty-Williams, author of The Sunday Times bestselling novel Queenie. Carty Williams, alongside Déja J Bowens, Malcolm Kamulete, Ray BLK and John Ogunmuyiwa, visits the BFI Southbank to talk about the show.
Rap sensation Bosco is ready to dominate the music industry once more.

A love letter to Black British music, Champion is a celebration of a sound that has long been the beating heart of our culture.
The show features an album’s worth of original music, written and produced by some of the UK’s leading artists, from singer-songwriter and 2017 BBC Music Sound Of prize-winner Ray BLK to grime pioneer, and BRIT and Mercury Prize-nominated Ghetts.

I saw so many parts where you read between the lines. But it made me think of love and hiphop.

[@jondoe5866]

The show was pure genius. It had all the elements and everything was there. It was to many cooks in the kitchen. There was to many non uk elements. That part took away from the realness.
The acting was good. It was so realistic. There a disconnect with the music. I didnt understand the references like in the rap battle.
