J Stone at Trees

South Central L.A. rapper J. Stone is continuing “the marathon” he started with his close friend Nipsey Hussle, who was killed in 2019. Stone has been rapping nearly all his life. He started at eight and released his first mixtape at 14. He and Nipsey Hussle met when they were young. They started making music together in their teens and taught each other how to record using ProTools. Stone became affiliated with Nipsey’s All Money In label and released his first studio album, The Coldest Story Ever, in 2013. Hussle’s death in 2019 had a profound impact on Stone. He dedicated the first song of his third album, 2019’s The Definition of Loyalty, to his late friend. The track is called “The Marathon Continues.”
