Stonebwoy released his first radio track βMakumaβ (My Heart) in his second year at Senior High School and several others later that same year. By his third year, he had acquired himself a stable underground popularity and was thereby able to release another track titled βEmpressβ which held him up even after leaving school in 2007. After that, things have happened in quick succession and Stonebwoy started work with S24 studios, the studio responsible for hits from artists such as Samini, Tic Tac, Kwaw Kese, Okomfuor Kwaade, Afro Moses, Buk Bak to name a few. There he met Samini in 2008 and clicked.
Stonebwoy has been building up his repetoire of major artists that he has shared stages with and the 30th December 2011 show at the Accra International Conference Centre, The Dome was no different. Stonebwoy performed at the βResolution 2012β put together by Badhabbits Entertainment which hosted Ghanaian artists such as Black Prophet, Eazzy, Edem, Castro, Iwan, Jupiter, Kaakie, Samini and Sonniballi and featured International acts such as Kiprich and Busy Signal.
Prior to Stonebwoyβs album launch, three new singles featuring Irene Logan βGhetto Loveβ, Edem βAbove The Skyβ and Tinny βOnumadΓ©β received and are still receiving a lot of airplay, not just in Ghana but in Europe, especially in Italy and Spain as well. Under the management of Samini Music, Stonebwoy released his much awaited debut album called βGrade #1β² on 6th March 2012 to coincide with Ghanaβs 56th Independence Day and his birthday weekend. Along with the most played track Climax, some of the other tracks on the album include the popular Rat Race, Rudegyal, Pullback, Crazy and more.
Stonebwoy brands himself as the βPrince of African Dancehallβ and goes with a baritone music descant β βBHIIMβ β which has gradually caught the lips of most of his fans in Ghana and beyond. With his first album βGrade #1β² to his credit, he is looking forward to climbing international stages and handling other music projects with all acts across the globe.
He connected with Jamaicaβs Karamanti in August 2012 and featured her on his song X-Factor which is currently being played on Jamaican radio and other stations in the Caribbean.

The song "Understand" by Stonebwoy talks about the need for understanding in a relationship. The chorus repeats the phrase "you haffi understand" which means that in a relationship, people need to comprehend each other's feelings, thoughts and actions. The song then moves on to talk about the singer's admiration for his love interest and his readiness to give her all his love. He implores her to trust him completely because the love he has for her is real and can never be broken.
Stonebwoy's lyrics in "Understand" address the theme of relationships and brings attention to the importance of understanding in healthy partnerships. He also expresses the need for trust in relationships, without which the relationship is bound to fail. He makes it clear that he is willing to do everything within his power to keep his love interest happy and satisfied. The use of the phrase "nine milli milli" in the song refers to a gun, which can be considered a metaphorical representation of the strong and protective love the singer has for his love interest.
