Birmingham lyricist Kofi Stone steps back into the spotlight with a striking double release: “Heartlands” and “Thorns” featuring Jacob Banks. These tracks mark the start of a new campaign since the acclaimed 2023 album A Man After God’s Own Heart.
Fresh off a string of sold-out shows across the UK, Europe, and Australia, Kofi continues his steady rise, carving out a lane as one of the UK’s most distinctive and thoughtful rap storytellers.
Speaking on the “Heartlands” release Kofi says: “I wrote this song two weeks after getting out of hospital. I vowed to myself, once I came out, that I would live life to the fullest. I wanted to capture how I felt when I was bedbound, and how – even though I felt pretty helpless – I knew I still had a responsibility to stay alive to fulfil my purpose.”
