Stevie Stone is a hip-hop artist from St. Louis, Missouri who is known for his adeptly rhymed lyrics as well as his penchant for building songs around a strong rhythmic foundation. Releasing his debut album, New Kid Comin, in 2009, the LP introduced listeners to a rapper whose love of the Roland TR-808, a pioneering drum machine, was used as a driving force and heart beat of his music. Releasing his second album in 2012, on the Tech N9ne fronted Strange Music record label, Stone's music fell upon a larger group of ears--warranting a fairly large fan base and following.
