Brooklyn’s own Frank Stoney has returned with his latest project, *Mind Of Stoney*, a compelling showcase of his evolution from aspiring actor to a multifaceted artist. With a seven-year journey in music and a background that straddles both the acting and music worlds, Stoney brings a unique blend of energy and chill vibes that’s as dynamic as it is authentic.
Opening with “Peace,” Stoney sets a confident tone for the album, seamlessly blending his signature ad-lib “ouii” with lyrics that scream ambition and self-assuredness. The track’s motivational lines, like “I run it up and I fuck it up,” give listeners that push to chase their goals with reckless abandon. It’s a perfect way to kick off the project, letting us know Stoney is here to make a statement.
Then we dive into “Energy,” where Stoney’s charm and flirtatious vibe come to the forefront. The track's standout lyric, “Frequencies is hitting, can you feel the vibrations?” pairs with some spicy X-rated content, leaving a cheeky impression. The playful ending with autotune and that signature ad-lib keeps the track memorable and engaging.
Next up, “Burkin” adds another layer to Stoney’s exploration of relationships and desires. The hook—“She want a Burkin and he wants some throat”—might catch you off guard, but it’s undeniably bold and entertaining. It’s a track that’s unapologetically honest about luxury and lust, and it works.
“Saturday Morning” featuring SURFBOYMAXX brings a Travis Scott-esque production that feels fresh and vibrant. The track’s playful energy and the bold line “Told her don’t call me daddy, call me your majesty” exemplify Stoney’s confident persona. It’s definitely single-worthy and has that festival-ready vibe that’s bound to catch some serious attention.
In “Paradise,” featuring Wave9forever, the mood shifts to a more laid-back, beachy feel. Wave9forever’s effortless flow over the beat makes this track a sun-soaked anthem perfect for lazy beach days. The hook is catchy, and I found myself humming it long after the song ended—a testament to its infectious nature.
“Addiction” delves deeper into personal themes, addressing vices and questioning a loved one’s flaws. It’s a reflective track that provides a contrast to the more playful or explicit content elsewhere on the album. Stoney’s lyrical skill shines through here, with lines like “Catching a drift in her ocean” painting vivid pictures of emotional depth.
The project wraps up with “Blessed” featuring z33, a sentimental note that brings a rags-to-riches narrative full circle. The collaboration with z33 is a highlight, adding a layer of gratitude and reflection to end the album on a high note.
Overall, Mind Of Stoney is a testament to Frank Stoney’s creativity and versatility. With impressive production from @_jhenetics_, @iamrafaelbeats, @worldwarlean, and @bryanfiji, and contributions from a lineup of talented features, Stoney has crafted a project that resonates on multiple levels. His ability to mix raw, honest content with playful and energetic vibes shows a deep understanding of his artistry. For fans of hip-hop with a twist of R&B, this album is a must-listen, showcasing an artist who’s not just making music, but carving out a space for himself in the industry.
Keep an eye on Frank Stoney—he’s not just here to play; he’s here to stay.
