Rob $tone (b. Jaylen Robinson) is a multidimensional vocalist, producer and songwriter proudly hailing from San Diego's Lemon Grove region. Drawing from the prolific reggae, rock and hip-hop artists who soundtracked his adolescence growing up in California helped inspire him to manifest the burgeoning career and melodic, genre-fluid approach he is happily cultivating today. In 2014, the first song he ever released, "Chill Bill," began to gain traction leading up to its formal release on his debut mixtape, Straight Bummin' in 2015, a project that was later followed by his first EP, Landing. In 2016, "Chill Bill," which was inspired by a run-in with the police, was re-released and climbed its way up the Billboard Hot 100, going on to peak at No. 29 and lead him toward inking his first major label deal with RCA. The Kill Bill-inspired single, which has since been certified 4x Platinum by the RIAA, further ignited his passion to not only create music for himself but to put on for his city. From taking the streaming game by storm to receiving cosigns from a slew of reputed artists, Rob $tone continued living up to his reputation as a bona fide rising talent, going on to release his 2016 sophomore mixtape, I'm Almost Ready, while his viral single received the remix treatment from the likes of D.R.A.M., Denzel Curry and Cousin Stizz. Amid the chaos that comes with being an emerging artist, Rob $tone became celebrated for his emotive, lively performances, lending his talents on the road as a supporting act alongside Playboi Carti & A$AP Ferg in 2016 and Desiigner & Ski Mask The Slump God in 2017. In 2018, $tone finished his first official headlining tour and released his Young Rob $tone mixtape, $tone has collaborated with artist such as Gucci Mane, Snoop Dogg, Meechy Darko, G Perico, Zaytoven, P- Lo and more . To kick off 2020, Rob $tone released his sophomore album, $tone Cold, on January 31. Stone Cold was followed up with a deluxe version which included three brand new records as well as a remix of Rob’s hit with P-Lo, “Too Faded.” The remix contained a guest verse from a west coast legend and maybe the most famous rapper on the planet, Snoop Dogg. Rob $tone continuously released hard-hitting singles thought the year and began 2021 with the release of a new E.P. entitled, Solitaire $tone.
