Ghanaian musician, Stonebwoy, has cosigned a visually-impaired rising dancehall star after listening to a few minutes of him freestyling.

This comes after Stonebwoy's stint in the Volta Region for this year's Easter celebrations. He performed at the Weta Hills on April 21.

The video of Stonebwoy and the visually-impaired young fan was first shared on a TikTok account affiliated with the artiste, instantly registering over 50k hits.

Stonebwoy was elated as the young man performed Jungle off his 2017 album Epistles of Mama.

The visually-impaired fan appears to be a huge fan of the dancehall genre.

In the video, Stonebwoy was captured attentively listening to the youngster as he performed Jahmiel's 2024 release — Holiday.

Stonebwoy was thrilled to experience the young fan's seamless flow.

The Psalm 23 hitmaker acknowledged the young fan's passion for the dancehall genre and love for Jamhiel, who was invited to Ghana in 2023 to be part of his annual Bhim Festival.

For close to two decades, Stonebwoy has been championing his signature Afro-dancehall, a fusion of the Jamaican sound with African rhythms and melodies.

In an interview monitored by GhanaWeb, the Afro-dancehall pioneer shared his thoughts on the growth of the genre he coined, saying,

"I believe that it is a very beautiful space to be in. It will interest you to know that there are tons of African youths who are into the Afro-dancehall style and paying a lot of respect to the name, Stonebwoy, for being a fierce force and pushing this to the world."

Speaking to YEN.com.gh, entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh hailed Stonebwoy's gesture, saying,

"Stonebwoy's words and actions towards marginalised groups and persons with disabilities are commendable. As an artiste who commands a huge fanbase in Africa, acts like these set a great example for others, so we can continue the fight for inclusiveness in the world."

With his commitment to the genre, the award-winning dancehall star has done a lot of hand-holding for many younger artistes like Larruso.
