Ghanaian dancehall and reggae artist Livingstone Etse Satekla, popularly known as Stonebwoy, has provided an in-depth explanation of the word ‘BHIM,’ frequently featured in his music.
In a discussion with Universal Music Canada during the promotion of his 5th Dimension album, the artist unveiled that the name “BHIM” in his songs represents a sound designed to ignite one’s inner spirit.
He elaborated that “BHIM” functions as an inspirational mantra, invigorating and empowering him to approach his everyday tasks with tranquillity and determination.
“ When hashtags really started, they used to start with #Team Drake etc but I’m not rolling with no team, I am a nation. So people would start to call me BHIM. They loved the sound because it’s an awakening sound already on the songs. All you see the people focusing on is waiting for the BHIM so they can sing with you” he said .
