But beyond the sound, there’s a deeper story behind the artist. To really understand who Stony SOS is and what drives him, tap into his exclusive interview with V-Henny, where he opens up about his journey, creative process, and the mindset behind his rising movement.
V-Henny: Philadelphia has a strong hip-hop culture, how did growing up there shape your sound and your approach to music?
Stony SOS: Growing up in Philly gave me that pain in my voice that everyone loves, my grimy flow but smooth delivery. You have to be chill in Philly its not a city where you try to become friends with everyone. No you have to pick and choose your friends, associates and acquaintances wisely.
V-Henny: Your music blends gritty street energy with experimental sounds. How do you balance staying authentic while still pushing creative boundaries?
Stony SOS: I really don’t listen to anyone else like that, especially when I’m working on a project lol all music is clipped. This is so im able to lock into my mind and create without hearing someone elses style in my head.
V-Henny: You’re known for aggressive flows and bass-heavy production, what draws you to that sound, and how did it become your signature?
Stony SOS: When i was a kid my mom use to listen to rappers like wutang, the alcoholics and jay z so heavy bass i grew up on and when i first heard Lil Wayne that southern accent and style, all of that inspired what yall have today “ Stony SOS “
V-Henny: Artists like Lil Wayne and Young Thug influenced you, what specific elements did you take from them and flip into your own style?
Stony SOS: Honestly just them being artists is inspiring to me because the went against all grains and did what they wanted to do no matter the criticism, gossip , they do them. I like that i feel like now days too many people try to hard to be like the next instead of being their authentic selves.
V-Henny: You produce a lot of your own music. How does producing your own records change the way you express yourself as an artist?
Stony SOS: I make music based off my frequency, so some days i may be sad, excited, or feeling loved . Creating my own beats helps me stay locked into that zone and i can easily write. Music is frequency so being able to manipulate them to keep myself in a certain mode is convenient for me lol.
V-Henny: Your music reflects real-life experiences like loyalty and survival. Is there a particular track that tells your story the most honestly?
Stony SOS: Yes a few songs ! A song i have called For What Its Worth from that project, I have a song called Welcome to NY that’s unreleased, I have a song called rags to riches its about being in the shelter and still chasing my dreams.
V-Henny: What’s something about your journey that people wouldn’t expect just by listening to your music?
Stony SOS: They wouldn’t know I have 3 kids at home and my girl and I hold it down and take care of all of that from the muscle with no job and I still somehow manage to lock into my dreams and goals.
V-Henny: When you’re not making music, what helps you stay grounded and focused in a fast-paced environment?
Stony SOS: Listening to music, my daughter’s smile and the presence of my family at home.
V-Henny: You’ve been building a strong underground following, what do you think is the key to connecting with fans on a deeper level today?
Stony SOS: I feel like consistency and staying authentic because you never know what anyone is going through and your story with you staying consistent could help so many others get by.
V-Henny: As you continue to rise, what does success look like to you beyond numbers and streams and what kind of legacy do you want to leave behind?
Stony SOS: The rap michael Jackson lol, im going for billboard, BET awards performances and awards, VMA’s , Philly’s Powerhouse, and traveling across seas to share my music with a different market.
