About

Stony Stone, the enigmatic Cambodian rapper and producer, has carved a unique niche in Southeast Asia’s hip-hop scene with his gritty lyricism and genre-defying sound. Blending traditional Khmer melodies with trap beats and lo-fi aesthetics, Stone’s music is a raw reflection of his roots and a bold reimagining of contemporary rap. His style draws from the likes of Kendrick Lamar and Travis Scott, yet his Cambodian heritage infuses his work with a distinct cultural resonance that sets him apart. Emerging from Phnom Penh’s underground scene, Stony Stone gained traction with his 2018 debut EP, *Mars*, a project that showcased his ability to weave personal narratives with social commentary.

Beyond music, Stony Stone is a cultural icon, using his platform to challenge stereotypes and inspire a new generation of Cambodian artists. His recent projects include *CNX*, a collaborative album that explores themes of connection and resilience, and his ongoing work with the Mars Crew, a collective pushing the boundaries of Cambodian hip-hop.
