Stonebwoy 5th Dimension Album will officially release on 28th April, 2023 with a party at Polo Beach Club near Labadi beach hotel in Accra Ghana, the mc for the night is Ogee the Mc and Mensah Junior. The event will start at 8pm.
Stonebwoy has detailed his much-anticipated forthcoming full-length project. On Friday (March 17), the multi-award-winning Ghana-based musician shared a fascinating, symbolism-heavy black-and-white trailer announcing the official name and release date of his album.
Dubbed “5TH DIMENSION,”, the album will arrive as his 5th full-length project on April 28th via DefJam Recordings. It will debut as his first body of work since his historic global signing with Universal Music Group (UMG) label divisions Def Jam Recordings, 0207 Def Jam, and Def Jam Africa back in May 2022 and also come off the back of an already illustrious career of four albums, which includes his debut “Grade 1”, “Necessary Evil”, the billboard-rated “Epistles of Mama” and 2020’s Reggae Ville album of the year, “Anloga Junction”.
The album was written and recorded during exclusive sessions across Europe, America and Africa, where the BET Award winner recruited a to-be-revealed roster of producers, guest musicians, and other collaborators from Europe, the Caribbean, America, and Africa for what resulted in a productive and enlightening series of music sessions. With the album, Stonebwoy aims to merge sounds from his Ghanaian roots with a unique blend of Afrobeats, dancehall, and reggae genres.
Earlier this month, during a conversation with Loop Magazine, Stonebwoy discussed his singles ‘More of You,” “Therapy,” and (released in late 2022). He revealed that both singles will feature on the upcoming album and are “part of the direction in which the album will be heading in.” He also told Vocalo in a previous conversation in February that “the whole album is the lead. Everybody’s going to find their own from it. Everybody’s going to find something beautiful in the album.”
Iconic in musical stature, Stonebwoy has raked in no less than 45 different types of awards for his outstanding contribution to the industry and continues to break new ground with every single, movie, or video release. As an award-winning African artist who has been placing the continent firmly on the musical map with international touring, standout collaborations, and commercially successful singles since 2012. He has duetted with international artists such as Keri Wilson, Sean Paul, Trey Songz, Burna Boy, Alpha Blondie, and many more—and has rocked stages from the UK to the USA, Australia, Italy, Puerto Rico, and Amsterdam—making his electrifying touring an integral part of his career.
Award-winning reggae and dancehall artiste, Stonebwoy has been announced as one of the artistes billed to rock the biggest end-of-year party exclusively organised by Citi TV/Citi FM, dubbed “The Citiuation“, on December 24, 2022.
The 3rd edition of The Citiuaton Outdoor Party has a host of other artistes who are already lacing their boots to give patrons an experience of a lifetime to officially usher them into Christmas.
This year’s event will be held at the La Palm Royal Beach in Accra, with performances from Akwaboah and Abiana, as well as back-to-back hit songs from hiplife group, Praye.
The mega party will also have an amazing live band performance from the Nkyinkyim band.
Citi FM’s DJ Mingle will be behind the turntables to play some of the world’s greatest jams for revellers.
Patrons will also be served different packages of food and drinks at their tables.
There are 4 packages on offer, Platinum tables go for a cool GH¢9,500 (accommodates 8 people), Diamond tables for GH¢7000 (accommodates 8 people), Gold tables for GH¢5000 (accommodates 6 people) and the Silver package is GH¢4000 (accommodates 6 people).
The 2021 edition saw performances from Obrafour, Mzbel, & Ofori Amponsah.
To book your tables and for further inquiries, call 0205973973 or 0558973973.
‘The Citiuation Outdoor Party’ is sponsored by Ebony Condoms, Ceres, Doritos, Lay’s, and Logistics Movers. It is powered by Citi TV with support from Citi FM and Ghana Weekend.

SARKODIE, STONEBWOY, GYAKIE, TEMS, USHER, TEMS & MORE READY FOR GLOBAL CITIZEN FESTIVAL IN GHANA
Ghana, and as a matter of fact Black Star Square, is where you want to be on Sept. 24. Why? Because Global Citizen Festival: Accra is coming!
The Global Citizen Festival is a celebration of music and social change that brings together artists, activists, world leaders, and Global Citizens to demand urgent change on the world’s biggest issues. As well as the place for performances from some of the world’s biggest artists, the Global Citizen Festival stage provides a platform for world leaders, business leaders, and philanthropists to make commitments in the mission to end extreme poverty and drive real, lasting change.
Touted as the gateway to Africa, we couldn’t be more excited to bring the Global Citizen mission to Ghana this year. Ghana’s 65th anniversary of independence, as well as the 20th anniversary of the African Union, also fall in 2022, offering a greater opportunity for collaboration to move the continent and the world towards equality, development, and zero poverty.
Who’s Performing in Accra?
Are you ready for this epic lineup? Brace yourselves because it’s about to be legendary. Taking to the Black Star Square stage on Sept. 24 will be: Usher, Gyakie, H.E.R., Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, Stormzy, SZA, and TEMS.
We’ll be living out our dreams when Usher takes the stage as the headliner. Representing the host country, we have Ghana’s very own Gyakie, Sarkodie, and Stonebwoy ready to blow the roof off. H.E.R. and Stormzy will make a return to the Global Citizen stage, and SZA and TEMS — who recently became the first African female musician to win Best International Act at the BET awards — will also bring the house down this September. All these fantastic artists are getting ready to light up the famous Black Star Square with electrifying performances.
