Career

Stone grew up in Columbia, Missouri, and is based in St. Louis. He discovered a love of music through his mother, a singer and choir director who introduced the rapper to gospel, blues, and soul at an early age.[2] As he grew up, Stone had his feet in the worlds of music and sports, pursuing a basketball career and playing piano and drums.[3] Though he received an offer to play ball for a junior college in Iowa, he was asked to open at a show just weeks before he would leave for school, and he chose to focus on his rap career. In 2007, Stone signed with Ruthless Records, which released his debut, New Kid Coming, on September 29, 2009.[4] Not long afterwards, the MC left the label to sign with Tech N9ne's Strange Music.[5] On June 12, 2012, his second studio album Rollin' Stone was released.[6] On October 23, 2012, he released an EP titled Momentum.[7] On August 13, 2013, his third studio album 2 Birds 1 Stone was released.[8] [9] In 2021, Stevie Stone announced across social media platforms that he has officially departed Strange Music and has since announced Ahdasee Records as his new record label with the release of his first independent single since 2009 titled "Jumping Out The Window".[10]
