Stoni

Flaunting vicious flows and a player like persona, Stoni can hold her own with some of rap’s top-tier artists. Born and raised in Oakland, the California native grew up with a passion for poetry and writing. Stoni stormed onto the scene larger-than-life in her first official single “Skirmish” with fellow rapper Tia Nomore, where she literally took the Bay Area in her hands in a Kong vs Godzilla- type music video. Since then, Stoni has been steadily booking shows to a tidal wave of rave reviews. In 2022 Stoni most notably released new single “Night Light” with Texas-royalty Fat Tony, and in February 2023 she opened for Junglepussy as part of Noise Pop Festival. Her set was praised by KQED where they commented that she rapped “ with infectious confidence and laser-beam precision” and that they had “never seen the audience demand an encore from the first opening act, but it happened”.

Stoni’s debut EP, titled after her alter-ego, is slated for Summer 2023.

There are no boxes you can tick, or elements you can introduce, that’ll give you a surefire pass at gold or glory. Impossible though those metrics may be, there is quality that stands tall above the rest as the most mysterious of additions, both unfakeable and wholly unmistakable. You probably already know where I’m heading — it’s chemistry. “Skirmish” dishes that valuable asset out like it’s a dime a dozen.

The music world is fickle and competitive at the best of times, and some might argue, often one that works to and for the benefit of men. Now this might not entirely true, but certainly for many upcoming artists, finding their way in the cut-throat music industry is a challenge at the best of times, especially with the adversities women in particular often find themselves facing.
