Ghanaian artist Energy God joins forces with BNNG (BHIMNATION Next Generation), a Burniton Music Group initiative, for “BLACK BOOK,” a socially conscious Afro-Dancehall record that uses music to confront the exploitation of vulnerable people through religion and false prophecy.
Rather than questioning faith itself, “BLACK BOOK” focuses on the individuals who manipulate the word of God for financial gain, taking advantage of people who genuinely seek guidance, healing, and hope. Through direct lyrics and powerful storytelling, the record draws attention to deceptive religious practices and the ways vulnerable members of society, including older parents, can become targets of manipulation.
Built around Afro-Dancehall rhythms and a clear social message, “BLACK BOOK” encourages listeners to develop awareness, discernment and accountability. Energy God uses the record as a platform to challenge listeners to recognise manipulation and consider the impact it can have on people who place their trust in religious leaders.
The collaboration also represents the creative vision of BNNG and its wider commitment to creating opportunities for the next generation of Ghanaian talent. The initiative operates under Burniton Music Group, with Ghanaian Afro-Dancehall star Stonebwoy, CEO of Burniton Music Group, serving as the Executive Producer of the record.
Through BNNG, Stonebwoy continues to champion emerging Ghanaian artists while creating a platform for young talent to develop and communicate meaningful stories through music. “BLACK BOOK” reflects that vision by combining contemporary Afro-Dancehall with a subject that speaks directly to social awareness and protection.
Ultimately, “BLACK BOOK” delivers a message of awareness and protection: faith should offer people hope, guidance and strength, not become a tool for exploitation. Energy God and BNNG turn that message into a powerful Afro-Dancehall collaboration designed to encourage conversation, reflection and greater awareness within society.
