Right from the start, Torcher blazes with energy. The title track and GidiGidi (Fire) showcase classic Stonebwoy — pounding drums, irresistible riddims, and that signature global Afro-Dancehall flair he delivers so effortlessly. Yet, he also shifts gears. The project closes with Deeper, a soulful and almost spiritual piece that highlights his vocal versatility, showing he can command both the dancefloor and the heart.

Here is where the EP truly resonates. Stonebwoy openly stated: “I used this EP to bring my brothers together.” True to his word, he avoids chasing mainstream collaborations, instead choosing to spotlight emerging Ghanaian and Togolese voices such as Yaw Tog, Beeztrap, Agbeshie, and Kenny Ice.

A perfect example is Xosetor, infused with authentic Ewe flavour and indigenous instrumentation. It is not simply a track, but a celebration of pan-African unity set to music. This project positions Stonebwoy firmly in his mentor era, uplifting the younger generation while still leading the way.

At its core, however, the project is about legacy and continuity. He shines a light on emerging Ghanaian stars, with Kumasi’s Beeztrap Kotm and Yaw Tog bringing raw energy to the bass-heavy Susuka. Rappers Agbeshie and Keeny Ice join him on the trap-infused Xosetor, weaving regional authenticity into the project’s fabric.

Despite these collaborations, the overarching narrative of The Torcher remains distinctly Stonebwoy’s. The closing track Deeper ties it all together — a call for resilience, a reflection on his journey, and a testament to his enduring relevance.
