Story of what happens when fame collides with family. The series follows Bosco Champion, a once prodigal son and a U.K. rap sensation before he was jailed, is home from prison, and ready to dominate the music industry once more.
Champion is set in South London and will follow the rise and fall of a fictional UK rap sensation. Described as “a love letter to Black British music,” Champion is a joint production from Balloon Entertainment and New Pictures.
Bosco is an up-and-coming rap star when he’s arrested and sent to prison. On arriving home, he is ready to dominate the music industry once again, but discovers his sister Vita has now become a performer in her own right.
Since she can remember, his younger sister Vita has been his personal assistant, running around after him, getting him out of trouble and hiding his various misdemeanors, but when Vita’s own talent is discovered by Bosco’s rival, Belly, she steps out of her brother's shadow to become a performer in her own right, setting the Champion siblings against one another in their quest to both reach the top spot in the charts and to be the star of the family.
The sibling rivalry will split the Champion family down the middle as they go head to head in a very public and messy battle.
