Stone Roses

Makola’s latest track “Stone Roses” is a raw, heartfelt tribute to youth, friendship, and the chaos of growing up in London. The East London duo—DJ/producer Peter Hakola and rapper Samuel Kwame Mensah—channel their Finnish and Ghanaian roots into a global sound that fuses afrobeat, grime, and pure emotion. Backed by tastemakers like BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra, Complex, and GRM Daily, and racking up millions of streams, Makola are shaping the future of the UK underground.

“Stone Roses” tells the story of two underdogs bound by music, football, and the messy beauty of adolescence. It’s about the highs of young brotherhood and the heartbreak that comes when it all unravels. With lines that hit hard and beats that hit harder, Makola mix nostalgia with brutal honesty. It’s not just a song—it’s a memory in motion, a shoutout to every wild friendship that changed your life (and maybe wrecked it a little too).
