Kofi Stone (UK)

Birmingham rapper Kofi Stone is one of the UK’s most vital and respected voices in hip-hop. Known for his deeply reflective lyricism, storytelling, and fusion of jazz, soul, and hip-hop, Kofi has carved out a distinct space in British music built on honesty, vulnerability, and self-discovery. 

His third project, All The Flowers Have Bloomed, marks the close of his “mixtape era” - completing a trilogy that began with Nobody Cares Till Everybody Does and A Man After God’s Own Heart. The project showcases Kofi at his creative peak, blending smoky, live instrumentation with poetic introspection and features from Jacob Banks, Maverick Sabre, Ady Suleiman and Tyler Daley (Children of Zeus). 

Drawing inspiration from his poet grandfather and early exposure to soul, grime and hip-hop, Kofi’s artistry embodies patience, purpose, and authenticity. His journey - from recording through a telemarketing headset to touring internationally - reflects a steady rise built on discipline and heart. 

Recently, he collaborated with grime legend D Double E on the “Flowers Flow (Remix)”, bridging generations of UK rap and further expanding his sonic reach. A true storyteller and craftsman, Kofi Stone continues to blossom, his words, his music, and his message resonating more deeply than ever. 

Kofi Stone will headline Drygate stage on Friday 04 September - Tickets available here.
