"18Hunna" is a song written and performed by British rappers Headie One featuring Dave, released on January 3, 2019, by Relentless Records.[1] It served as the lead single to Headie One's fourth mixtape, Music x Road (2019).[2] The song peaked at number 6 on the UK Singles Chart, making it Headie's first top-ten UK single and Dave's second.[3]

Background

The song went viral before its release after Headie One shared a 10-second music video clip, which sparked the "#18HUNNACHALLENGE", bringing even more attention to the track.[1][4]

Critical reception

Writing for NME, Jordan Bassett wrote that "the song’s perfection of the drill sound is dwarfed".[5]

Music video

The Nathan James Tettey-directed music video is in a black and white theme which sees Headie One and Dave in a warehouse with heaps of money and a classic Aston Martin DB5 playing a main role in the video as it's seen in several scenes throughout it.[1]
