Ghanaian hip hop and highlife at its best: Flowking Stone “Blow My Mind” feat. Akwaboah

Ghanaian hip hop and highlife at its best: Flowking Stone “Blow My Mind” feat. Akwaboah

Flowking Stone has been consistently rated one of Ghana’s best rappers. He’s also an artist for whom connecting to Ghana’s deep musical roots is key. “I like to fuse tradition and culture. So even on a westernized hip hop beat, you will hear traditional patterns in my rap.” he tells me.

Not only does Stone spice up his raps with bits of Ghanaian culture, he also flows over a wide range of beats, and is not one to shy away from highlife, as his latest song shows perfectly well. Featuring highlife crooner Akwaboah’s silky voice, shot on the shores of Kokrobite, Blow My Mind is a beautiful highlife joint right in time for Ghana’s event filled month of December.
