And from the sound of it, this is not just another rollout.
“WE UP” Sets The Tone
“WE UP” feels like classic M Huncho energy mixed with a more focused and reflective mindset. The track carries the nocturnal trapwave atmosphere fans know him for, while also pushing themes of loyalty, isolation, self belief, and moving differently from everyone else.
Huncho stays locked into his own world.
No chasing validation.
No industry noise.
Just his circle, his code, and his vision.
The single already sounds like a direct introduction into what The Wizard is going to represent.
The Meaning Behind “The Wizard”
For years, fans have referred to M Huncho as “the wizard,” and now he is fully embracing that identity.
But this project goes deeper than aesthetics.
According to the rollout, The Wizard explores identity, perception, vulnerability, and personal growth. While Huncho has always been known for his mysterious masked persona, this album reportedly leans further into self expression and emotional openness than previous releases.
The Wizard of Oz inspiration acts as a framework for the album’s world building, something M Huncho has become known for throughout his career.
A Full Creative Universe Beyond Music
M Huncho continues proving that his artistry goes beyond songs alone.
The artwork for The Wizard was unveiled during an in store event at LFDY in Soho and created by 23 year old artist Freddie Peacock. The visuals reinterpret the Wizard of Oz universe through Huncho’s own lens with hand painted artwork and immersive detail.
This fits perfectly into Huncho’s history of collaborating with creatives across fashion, art, and design. Previous projects already connected him with names like Lucien Clarke, Reuben Dangoor, and Slawn.
For M Huncho, the visual world matters just as much as the music itself.
One Of The Founders Of UK Trapwave
Long before UK trapwave became mainstream, M Huncho helped shape the sound. His breakthrough project Utopia introduced a style that mixed melody, pain, trap production, and introspection in a way that felt completely different at the time.
Projects like Huncholini The 1st, Chasing Euphoria, and My Neighbours Don’t Know continued building his legacy, while collaborations with Headie One, Nafe Smallz, D Block Europe, and Nines expanded his reach globally.
His Mad About Bars freestyle alone passed over 28 million views, proving how strong his cult following remains.
HIPHOPADELLIC TAKE
M Huncho is one of those artists who never needed to follow the mainstream because he built his own universe from the beginning.
That is why people still call him the Godfather of Trapwave.
With The Wizard, it feels like Huncho is entering a more personal and evolved chapter while still staying true to the dark atmospheric sound that made him special in the first place.
And if “WE UP” is the introduction to this new era, then June 19 could become one of the most important UK rap release dates of the year.
