“Gidi Gidi (Fire)” is the latest single from Ghanaian artist Stonebwoy, drawn from his The Torcher EP. A leading figure in afrobeats and dancehall for more than a decade, Stonebwoy has shaped a style that connects reggae and dancehall traditions with Ghana’s own urban sound.

Stonebwoy broke through in 2012 with “Climax”. Over the years he has collaborated with Keri Hilson, Sean Paul, Burna Boy, Alpha Blondy, Angélique Kidjo, and Stormzy. His work has earned recognition across Africa and beyond, including a BET Award, three Ghana Music Awards Artiste of the Year titles, multiple AFRIMA wins, and honours from the International Reggae and World Music Awards.

“Gidi Gidi (Fire)” underlines Stonebwoy’s role in shaping Afro-dancehall. The track places Ghanaian pidgin, patois, and Ewe phrases against dancehall drum programming and afrobeats percussion. The refrain anchors the song in lyrical defiance, while chants of “Fire, fire” mark its hook. The arrangement drives forward through basslines and call-and-response vocals, positioning the track in dialogue with both Ghanaian street slang and wider Caribbean frameworks.

With The Torcher EP, Stonebwoy sharpens this focus, combining local language with global form to reinforce his role at the centre of Ghana’s contemporary dancehall movement.
