Stonebwoy announces sixth studio album ‘’Up & Runnin6” with Spice, Blvk H3ro and Duncan Mighty—Pre-order here
Accra, ACC, October 10—International reggae-dancehall superstar, Stonebwoy, has announced his much-anticipated album ‘’UP & RUNNIN6”—now available for pre-order.
Slated for a global release on October 24, the thirteen-track collection follows the two-time Ghana Music Awards Artiste of the Year’s commercially successful 2023 album ‘’5TH DIMENSION,” which peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard World Reggae Album Chart. The project will arrive in stores as his sixth studio album and first body of work since his historic global signing with Warner Music Group (WMG)’s ADA Worldwide earlier this year.
‘’UP & RUNNIN6” was recorded across exclusive sessions in Europe, America, and Africa, highlighting Stonebwoy’s versatility and ability to bring together diverse musical influences. The album features collaborations with top-tier producers and renowned voices from around the globe. The LP, while leaning heavily to pop and pop-related themes, also uses genres like Afrobeat, Dancehall, Reggae, Highlife, Amapiano, and R&B with his signature Afro-Caribbean sound to discuss themes of introspection, spirituality, romance, and empowerment, marking a new chapter in Stonebwoy’s evolution as an artist.
The lead single, “Memories,” features Caribbean artist Ir-Sais. Tracks like ‘’Psalm 23” offer anthems of resilience, while ‘’Jiggle & Whine,” with dancehall star Spice, brings an energetic feel to the project. Other collaborations include Chi Chi Ching, Kaylan Arnold, and Blvk H3ro on ‘’Geography,” and AMARIA BB on the upbeat ‘’Fvck up Summer.” Embracing his roots, Stonebwoy brings traditional highlife sounds to ‘’Betta Tin’’ with Nigerian Legend Duncan Mighty.
‘’UP & RUNNIN6” is heralded by singles ‘’Pray for Me,” featuring Grammy-winning Haitian rapper Wylcef Jean, OdumoduBlvck-assisted single ‘’Ekebele,” ‘’Your Body,” and ‘’Jejereje,” a viral hit featuring Amsterdam producers Ginton, which has gained over 360,000 TikTok creations and over 1 million views on YouTube.
‘’UP & RUNNIN6” is a bold and unapologetic showcase of Stonebwoy’s ability to blend global musical influences with deep cultural roots – the project not only reflects his artistic evolution, but also his commitment to pushing the boundaries of global music. The album continues his rich legacy of groundbreaking albums, including ‘’Grade 1,” ‘’Necessary Evil,” the Billboard-rated ‘’Epistles of Mama,” and the 2020 Reggae Ville Album of the Year, ‘’Anloga Junction.”
As one of the key figures bridging African and Caribbean music cultures, his influence reaches far beyond borders. Earlier this year, CNN recognized him as one of their African Voices Changemakers, remarking: “Very few have propelled Ghana’s dancehall movement to greater heights than Stonebwoy. He is not only one of the most renowned Reggae and dancehall artists across Africa – but he also commands the respect and admiration of Caribbean audiences.”
