Epixode backs Stonebwoy over being the originator of Afro-Dancehall and popularizing it around the world.
Epixode supported Stonebwoy when he recently said he’s the originator of Afro-Dancehall and marketed it to the rest of the world, having shared the stage with Shaggy, Bounty Killer and the like.
One of the musical styles that is truly bringing attention to the African continent around the world is afro-dancehall.
Afro-dancehall has been popularized internationally by artists like The Buffalo Souljah, Orezi from Nigeria, Samini, Stonebwoy, Shatta Wale, and Mzvee from Ghana.

According to Stonebwoy, he alone is responsible for popularizing afro-dancehall.
In a Citi 97.3fm interview with AJ Sarpong, Stonebwoy said: “I’ve performed alongside Shaggy, Bounty killer, Richard Stevens, Alpha Blondy, and more. I’m promoting afro-dancehall… I sold it to the world. Oh, I am”
Reiterating this point, Stonebwoy’s workmate Epixode admitted to famous Ghanaian entertainment analyst Arnold Asamoah-Baidoo that Stonebwoy did indeed set the pace.
Epixode said: “He [Stonebwoy] has every right to own it, especially because he has successfully marketed his brand, the “genre,” and his nation to an international audience. It is impossible to deny his attraction on a global scale.”
