MC Portfolio speaks out against Screw Face collaboration on Stonebwoy's 'Jejereje' remix
Following the release of Stonebwoy’s popular track ‘Jejereje,’ discussions have surfaced within the music community regarding a potential remix.
Some fans have advocated for a collaboration with Screw Face, a veteran of the Hiplife genre, who many believe would seamlessly complement the style of the song.
However, the proposal has sparked differing opinions, with MC Portfolio, an ardent Stonebwoy supporter, sharing strong reservations about the idea.
In an interview on Music Plus, a Kessben TV program hosted by Mr Bonez monitored by News & Vibes, Portfolio openly addressed the suggestion.
He acknowledged that while Screw Face might seem like a perfect artistic fit, he questioned the potential business impact of such a collaboration.
According to Portfolio, featuring Screw Face on the remix would likely not generate the international recognition that Stonebwoy’s song could otherwise achieve.
Portfolio’s perspective was based on his belief that a remix with Screw Face would lack the commercial value necessary for significant global reach.
While he admitted that Screw Face’s sound matches the vibe of ‘Jejereje,’ he noted that the partnership would primarily appeal to local audiences, and may not be the best move for expanding Stonebwoy’s international presence.
Instead, Portfolio proposed that Stonebwoy should focus on collaborating with African artists with wider global appeal.
Specifically, he suggested Nigerian singer Flavour N’abania and Ivorian music legend Freddy Meiway as more strategic choices.
Portfolio argued that these artists, with their established reputations and broad fan bases across the continent, would not only enhance the artistic quality of the remix but also boost its chances of success on the international stage.
This debate reflects the evolving dynamics in the African music industry, where artists like Stonebwoy constantly seek to balance local relevance with the desire for international acclaim.
While fans continue to engage in discussions about what direction the remix should take, many await Stonebwoy’s decision.
The outcome of this potential remix has the power to further cement Stonebwoy’s status, either as an artist who remains deeply connected to his Ghanaian roots or one who takes calculated steps to grow his influence beyond local borders.
