Birmingham-based rapper Kofi Stone has released his highly anticipated third album, ‘All The Flowers Have Bloomed’, out now via Tru Community. A powerful 14-track record, the album marks another significant moment in Kofi’s quiet ascent as one of the most vital voices in British rap.
Kofi is in bloom – having planted the necessary seeds through significant moments of perseverance, vulnerability, and intricate self-reflection, he now stands tall in his growth. This is arguably Kofi at his best: deeply reflective, emotionally raw, and unafraid to confront the relationships, losses, and lessons that have shaped him, while embracing the beauty and sacredness of life.
Featuring the previously released singles ‘Thorns’ ft. Jacob Banks, ‘Rainfall’, ‘Venice’ ft. Maverick Sabre, and most recently ‘Chamomile’ ft. Ady Suleiman, ‘All The Flowers Have Bloomed’ captures the sound of music drifting from a 1930s speakeasy – smoky, soulful, and alive. While Hip-hop remains at its core, Kofi expertly blends jazz, soul, funk, and rich live instrumentation with purpose and ease.
For Kofi, ‘All The Flowers Have Bloomed’ marks the close of what he calls his “mixtape era”. The final chapter in a triptych that began with his 2019 debut ‘Nobody Cares Till Everybody Does’ and last year’s ‘A Man After God’s Own Heart’, it represents the perfect bridge between the two – musically, thematically, and emotionally. Kofi is an artist of intention; listen to the trilogy in sequence and you’re drawn into his orbit, as if paging through his diary – witnessing, in real time, his ever-evolving existence and unwavering dedication to becoming a better man.
