Career

Stone, who grew up in Columbia, Missouri, 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.[3] 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]
