We all know this guy FLOWKING STONE 'got it' and is one brilliant rapper in the rap game. As to why he is still slept on and isn't ruling the rap scene like before is one big question that puzzles all of us, some of us admit to the fact that it must be his blood brother and rap mate KUNTA KINTE's stroke. Well it may be it but I still find reasons why our brother is still not in the bigger picture where he is supposed to be and isn't really the ish like before.
The first reason is the kind of features FLOWKING STONE picks on his tracks. I mean i am not saying that the artists he feature on his songs are not great or wack but personally i feel Flowking should feature some of the big names in the game more often. For example his song 'soldier' was one great joint that could have done wonders if he had a big name like "STONE BOY" on that track. "RAS KUUKU" did his thing any way but these guys are already in the game and could have given his song a greater exposure than the track received originally. I am beginning to think FLOWKING STONE can't afford to feature these big names on his songs (well that will make me sound very stupid) or he probably has problems with some of these big names of which can't be proven or it could possibly be some reason else in the background of which we can't tell for sure.
The second reason is his songs keep going waste. A lot of songs Flowking Stone released quite recently were very dope songs and had massive hit potential. Even though 'go low' is still a hit. 'Yempe Dede' is one track that should have been the talk of town for years, that track is still really dope YAA PONO killed the hook (i am not exaggerating, i am listening to it as i write this). There are several songs that were hits though not to the extent they should have gone. Well i can't tell if DJs are not been so friendly or some sort of politics going on in the background of which we can't tell as well. It just hurts me some great songs by this guy keep going waste. Does he have a promotion plan for his songs at all? I wonder.
The third is FLOWKING STONE does not make videos a lot. Wait let me explain better, what i am trying to say is, he doesn't make the videos for the right songs. For example is there a video for "Fire Bon Dem Remix" yet? Even if there is, is it out yet? or he is probably holding on to it for reasons probably known to him. I will just add the fourth reason right here. He doesn't seem to see the perfect moment to drop his songs. He should study the game critically and be able to point out just the correct moment to drop a video or a song. His IGWE song shouldn't have be dropped instead it should have been one crazy punchline filled track looking at the scene in rap music currently (who manages this guy? the person is poor at it)
I think these are the things that is working against this great talent. Flowking Stone is a great talent and should be one of the very big names out there even on the international scene. He should go farther than he is. My personal advice (well i am not sure if he is reading this, he probably won't) should be, He should feature big names in the game more often and shoot videos for it, He should be able to spot the right moments to drop his songs. Strategise king strategise you deserve better man.
