Kofi Stone

AKA: Mawuena Dzotsi, Mawuena Daniel Kofi Dzotsi

Kofi Stone is a London-born, Birmingham-raised rapper known for his introspective songwriting, storytelling and genre-fluid approach to contemporary UK hip-hop. Influenced by his grandfather’s poetry and a childhood shaped by grime, blues, soul and hip-hop, Stone developed a distinctive sound that brings together sharp lyricism, soulful textures and live instrumentation.

After spending three years honing his writing before entering a professional studio, Stone began with DIY recordings made using a Windows 98 program and a telemarketing headset. He has since built a growing catalogue that includes collaborations with Loyle Carner, D Double E, Tom Misch, Kojey Radical, Tiana Major9 and others, alongside performances at Glastonbury, Love Supreme and We Out Here. His projects include Nobody Cares Till Everybody Does, A Man After God’s Own Heart and 2025’s All The Flowers Have Bloomed. In 2026, Stone announced his fourth project, The Last Flower To Bloom, a 16-track release that continues his exploration of personal growth, reflection and what comes next.
