Stonebwoy’s mix of dancehall and Afropop has made him a legit superstar in his native Ghana, but on new album Epistles Of Mama (EOM), he’s looking beyond.
A gigantic double album spanning 12 reggae songs and 12 Afrobeats tracks, with guest spots from the likes of Sean Paul, Sarkodie and Burna Boy, Stonebwoy describes it as a salute to motherhood. “It’s inspired by the good morals, the teachings, the lessons, the anguish and the smiles of life,” he says. “All the important things in life which are passed on to us by our mothers.”
Last week Stonebwoy launched the album with an exclusive playback at Red Bull Studios London. Watch the video to one of the album’s highlights, Hold On Yuh ft Khalia, exclusively below on RedBull.com – then scroll down to hear the whole album on Spotify.
