Quote:
As marine blue legend has it, shortly after Ermias Asghedom’s revelatory family trip to Eritrea inspired a reckoning with his career focus, the first call he made was to Infant J. Stone. A battle-tested Crenshaw representative with prodigious intelligence and far more talents than opportunities, J. Stone quickly elevated his new friend’s bars, helped him sell two-for-$15 bags of fake dope to afford studio time, and asserted himself as one of All Money In’s sharpest performers. While Nipsey Hussle was the chief and headliner, Stone was boxing out. It was he who helped Nip put up posters in territories staked out by Eight Tray Gangsters, Grape Street and Hoover Crips (they paid homegirls and weed smokers to take care of business). It was he who spit the AZ-Illmatic-scene stealing feature verse on Crenshaw, a free download that Nipsey had the confidence to sell for $100 a physical copy (needless to say, it’s worth exponentially more today). And it was he who handled hypeman/adlib/opener duties from self-promoted strip mall performances to the star-studded Victory Lap premiere show.
This is not to define J. Stone in relation to the late Nipsey Hussle, his close friend, collaborator and business partner. It’s to consider J. Stone as a centrifugal force, both in loving hip hop and in accepting the cold limits of contemporary American existence. Stone’s entire life has been plagued by loss, but the way he tells it and the way he raps it, he’s made a sacred responsibility out of making each loss into a vehicle for betterment. His mother was fatally shot by the cops when he was just three years old. He not only stomached the murder of Nip, on his own block and by the gun of a neighborhood man with SIXTIES tatted on his flesh, but then lost another friend and independent heavyweight, Young Dolph, under wrenchingly similar circumstances one year later. He flew to New York for DMX’s funeral to honor an inspiration-turned-mentor. 18 months before Nipsey passed, Stephen J. Donelson, the co-founder of The Marathon Clothing better known as Fatts, was taken from All Money In too.
Stone has responded to the turbulent past three years with a triptych of chest-out, heart-open albums. The Definition of Loyalty, fittingly, depicts Stone crowned with a Crip bandana, on the same sun-drenched Slauson Avenue that Nip and Lauren London shot for GQ. The album features All Money In lifers like Bino Rideaux, Hoodsta Rob and Pacman da Gunman, but also brings on West luminaries Snoop Dogg and Game. Its follow-up, 2020’s The Definition of Pain, was highlighted by a new Nip and Dom Kennedy song, named after the latest great L.A. Laker. But The Definition of Sacrifice might be the most complete and assured of the series. On songs like “Round Table” and “C.E.O.,” J. Stone assumes a more grizzled, mature and wealthier version of the self-made talk that All Money In broke out with. “No Time” brings a vintage verse out of Jadakiss and even elicits the rare Swizz Beatz vocal performance. “Different Purpose” takes the shadowboxing, lonely-at-the-top counter-rhythm of “1 for tha Money” and flips forward some of the best rapping heard all year. It’s a bossy soundtrack that occasionally goes beyond comfort zone (what were the Vegas odds on a K Camp hook about bussin’ it open?) but never eschews its functionality as Survival Music. Hell, it’s even got a high-as-balls Dolph laughing about 101 freeway traffic and shouting out OG Bobby Johnson from South Central.
“I don’t like interviews,” he raps matter-of-factly on the album’s intro. There were jokes upon jokes about how Stone doesn’t smile much in his No Jumper interview. But when we connected a few weeks ago, the veteran emcee seemed genuinely excited to talk about the work he’s putting in. 2022 means it’s “Summertime in that Maybach” now, he told me. Most people never run a marathon in their lifetime, but those who have typically don’t just stop after that.
