Two years of sketches, one Fire in the Booth and a few middle class bars later… https://t.co/QcXQChHRco</div> — Munya Chawawa (@Munya Chawawa)<a href="https://twitter.com/munyachawawa/statuses/1330586872477847552">1606071606.0</a></blockquote></div><p>According <a href="https://www.storyofmoxie.com/munya-chawawa" target="_blank">Chawawa's website</a>, Unknown P is the UK's first posh drill rapper who clearly lives in his own world. Chawawa uses <a href="https://www.irishexaminer.com/world/arid-31004219.html" target="_blank">satire to highlight Britain's subtle racism</a>, for example, the British media's watered down reportage of <strong>Black Lives Matter</strong>, the coronavirus pandemic, classism and other domestic issues. The 27-year-old's sketches gained even more popularity during the global coronavirus lockdown when comedic relief was certainly a reprieve for many.</p><p><div class="preroll-video"></div><ora-player></ora-player></p><p>According to <strong><em>Bustle</em></strong>, <a href="https://www.bustle.com/entertainment/munya-chawawa-on-comedy" target="_blank">Chawawa grew up in Zimbabwe before moving to the UK</a> to a small village in Norfolk. He revealed through an interview with <strong><em>Campaign</em></strong> that <a href="https://www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/munya-chawawa-covid-comedian-bringing-light-gloom/1699306" target="_blank">he often struggled to fit in and tapped into his funny genes</a> which he reportedly inherited from his grandfather. The comedian says that he <a href="https://www.irishexaminer.com/world/arid-31004219.html" target="_blank">started doing online sketches two years ago</a> before his third one finally went viral. </p><p>Chawawa's deal may come as a surprise to many but <a href="https://www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/munya-chawawa-covid-comedian-bringing-light-gloom/1699306" target="_blank">Unknown P seems to have amassed a huge following in the UK and Europe</a>. Atlantic Records houses notable musicians including <strong>Meek Mil</strong><strong>l</strong>, <strong>Stormzy</strong>, <strong>Ty Dolla $ign</strong>, <strong>Bruno Mars </strong>and <strong>Cardi B</strong>. </p><p><div class="dfp_atf-slot" data-not-loaded="true"></div><script type="text/javascript">
