Torch & DJ Derezon drop “Champion”

German hip-hop pioneer Torch teams up with legendary DJ and producer DJ Derezon for their first-ever collaboration, “Champion.”

Known primarily for his conscious and socially aware lyrics, Torch takes a different approach this time. After hearing Derezon’s instrumental, he felt inspired to have some fun with punchline-heavy rap, playful rhymes and classic battle rap energy.

Following the success of Königsklasse and Klassentreffen, Torch proves that while the king may be retiring, the champion still has plenty of love for rap, DJ mixtapes, graffiti and even breaking.

The track, produced by Derezon and Mighty KK, has already reached No. 9 in the charts, with a 7-inch vinyl release currently being pressed.
