Stone Dukeutru is an artist from Cameroon. After moving to France, he grew up under the influence of a music-loving father, immersed in the sounds of Koffi Olomidé, French variety music, and Afrobeat. This rich musical background shaped him into a versatile artist, seamlessly navigating different styles and infusing his music with a unique hybrid identity where cultural fusion is omnipresent, from North to South.
The artist has just unveiled his single “Yeah Ho”, taken from his EP “Sadly Happy”, following the tracks “Ho Ma Chérie” (released in January 2025) and “ChaO” (released in February 2025). The music video for “Ho Ma Chérie” masterfully illustrates the paradox of the song: an upbeat Afrobeat instrumental contrasted with a melancholic vocal delivery where Stone Dukeutru brings an intense emotional depth.
With “Yeah Ho”, he follows a similar approach but on a more free-flowing and adventurous production.
Stone Dukeutru announces his project “Sadly Happy” with the single “Yeah Ho”!
The instrumental composition is crafted by Abbas Master, a renowned beatmaker who has worked with major names in French rap such as Kamelancien, Sultan, La Fouine, Dany Boss, and DJ Skorp. More urban than his previous tracks “Ho Ma Chérie” and “ChaO”, this new release perfectly reflects Stone Dukeutru‘s vast musical influences, which transcend borders.
While the instrumental, driven by the catchy hook “Yeah Ho Ho ho ho”, exudes an uplifting energy, the lyrics take on a more introspective tone. Stone Dukeutru skillfully plays with artistic contrasts, embodying the emotional duality running through his EP. Being an independent artist means constantly juggling between success and doubt, recognition and uncertainty—each step forward is another building block in his artistic journey.
Step by step, he is shaping his universe and laying the foundation for his EP “Sadly Happy”, set to be released on **April 18**. A bold and meaningful project that should not be missed.
