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

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.

Critical reception

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

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.
