Please wait; Bradez is coming back

Stone is returning to active music but without his kid brother Kunta. Tomorrow, he will release Too Strong, a single off his 17-track Gifted album which will come out on a yet to be confirmed date.

Talking to Showbiz last Tuesday, Stone, real name Kwaku Nsiah-Boamah defended why he is coming out on his own and leaving his brother behind.

“ I know some people may think I am being selfish and leaving my brother behind but my solo project does not mean we are going our separate ways.

“ After he fell ill, I had to slow down for a while.  But I realised that it will be better to come out and still be relevant in the music industry than to wait for Kunta and we all disappear into oblivion.

“It was not very comfortable deciding to come out on my own but we can’t let the name Bradez die. It is a difficult situation but we have to deal with it. We have discussed it several times and we decided it will be good for us to remain active in music and to keep the brand alive than let it die.

“ I have moved to Accra to work and Kunta is in Kumasi with our mum and that makes it difficult to work together as a team. Yes, sometimes he comes around or I go over but we can only do so much. We couldn’t create songs together like we usually do. Sometimes, he wouldn’t be aound to finish what we have started.

“ We are however working on an album together and we are just waiting for him to fully recover then we will release it. That project will come off after my solo project.

“ He is my blood brother. It is a family thing. I feel I represent Bradez. Yes, Gifted is just about me but it is still  from Flowking of Bradez.  I think coming out now will work out well for both of us in the long run.

Stone, 31, a biomedical scientist with MDS Lancet Laboratories told Showbiz that starting from tomorrrow, he will release a single on the first of every month till he is ready to hit the market with his album.

“ Too Strong is basically about Bradez. What we have been through since Kunta fell sick, the challenges we have faced, why the solo project among others. It is in the hiphop vein because the genre allows you the freedom to express oneself and I wanted to express myself.

The song which features Lil Shaker and Ryan, the current Vodafone Icon winner was produced by Mike Millz under Rapfam in collaboration with One Mic Entertainment.

Talking to Kunta Kinte, real name Kwaku Nsiah Amankwah from his Kumasi base via telephone, he gave his blessings to his brother’s project saying “ I am happy for Stone. Although it is his project, I feel every part of it. Until I fully recover, there is the need to keep Bradez alive and he is doing just that.
