Stonebwoy, the beloved Ghanaian superstar who released his Def Jam Recordings debut “Therapy” in May, follows that track with “GIDIGBA (FIRM & STRONG),” a potent fusion of the hip-hop, Afro-pop, and dancehall sound that has made him one of Africa’s most important artists, with over four million followers on Instagram and over three million on Facebook.

“‘GIDIGBA’ is what fans are craving from Stonebwoy,” he declares. “It has an original Stonebwoy factor, but it can also be for the progressive audience we’re trying to achieve. I can bet on this song in terms of lyrics. ‘Gidigba’ is a street term–it’s a Nigerian, Yoruba term that means ‘firm & grounded.’ Africa will gravitate towards this. Produced by Nigerian record producer Phantom.”
