ARTIST BIO Creative, lyrically ingenious, thought provoking, a breath of fresh air. These are just a few words that come to mind after listening to Malik Stone. Stone’s delivery and soulful vibes will undoubtedly prove him to be one of the greatest artists to ever grace the mic. Born in Hampton , Virginia , and brought up all along the east coast from New York to North Carolina , Malik Stone isn’t cut from the same cloth as today’s performers. Stone comes from very humble beginnings and always knew music was his true calling. He never questioned his ability to rap but knew he wanted to be more than a rapper. Now with mastered lyrical talent, an amazing ear for what hip hop fans want to hear, and remarkable confidence, MalikStone has emerged a true hip hop genius His flow on each track incorporates elements of jazz, old school hip hop, funk, and an eclectic sound all his own. The vibe of his music can be compared to the likes of George Clinton, Sly and the Family Stone, Black Moon, and The Roots who, like Stone, pride themselves on being true to their own self-expression. Stone’s obvious gift to bring his music to life through his lyrics is evident and is bound to make heads bob. His daughter as his guiding motivation for his debut CD, Stone declares, “What I got is feel good music. I want people to feel what I’m saying in their souls. I want to see them dance again and know it was me that made them [dance].” Lover’s anthems, proverbial warnings, and encouraging themes bring the music of Malik Stone full circle. His determination to be a leader in the hip hop world and make music that closely identifies with all walks of life is definitely going to turn some heads in the years to come. Hip hop has come a long way and in a time when the whole culture is stagnate, Stone brings an uncommon rhythm separating himself from the masses. When asked to describe his music in one word, he replied, “timeless.”
