Also, preparations are being made towards the release of a new song when he returns from his tour in Europe.

Below are excerpts of the interview transcribed;

Nkosouhene: Dancehall seems to have taken over the Ghanaian music industry now, what’s your take on the music industry?

Stonebwoy: For how old I am, I can only say things that are of my age. I grew up listening to Adjoa Yankee (by Papa Yankson) and then also, Ghanaians love Gospel music so taking a critical analysis of the Gospel rhythms; they all comes with Reggae drop beat in them…

Trying to pinch Stonebwoy in a tight corner, Nkosuohene asks about his relationship with Samini and Shatta Wale intending to seek reasons to start brouhaha between these three established Dancehall musicians…

Stonebwoy: Each of us has ‘S’ as the first alphabet to our names, hence, it is a Stubborn Movement...
