Summer 2016 was nothing but success for #2STONED as he continued to stay busy and rocked various different stages with many big name artists such as Nipsey Hussle & Trill Sammy/Dice Soho. And then he took it to the next level and brought down his two favorite artists back to back starting with Riff Raff in October and then Paul Wall in November. He knocked out another song with Riff Raff as well as a song/video with Paul Wall. And it only gets better. During that time, he also linked up with Rizzoo Rizzoo out of Houston, Texas with the sauce factory as well as Ghetty who is originally from Chicago but now in Los Angeles and has many tracks with Riff Raff, Famous Dex & More!
To kick off December and end 2016 with a bang, he linked up with a fellow artist and promoter from Colorado by the name of ScrogginsALLday and went on a 11 day, 8 city, 4 state tour (Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas & Oklahoma)
2017 – Nothing changed, the hustle is still non stop all day every day. In January 2017 #2STONED focused on networking as usual and he discovered 17 years old Mason Capone and linked up with him for the single “Zip On My Lap” wand it quickly reached 25K+ plays on SoundCloud and the official music video passed 13k views in less than two weeks! March 2017 included another successful year of T.E.A.C.H Fest During SXSW featuring 22 Savage, Mike Will Made It & Many More! June 2017, Lil Sicc & #2STONED continued to kill the scene and released visuals for “Back In That Action” & #2STONED released his project as well as the official music video with Paul Wall titled “Slabbin & Dabbin” available everywhere you can find music. To end 2017 with a bang Lil Sicc & Lil Chris linked up once again to bring you “Da Flip” and #2STONED signed a 60+ city tour contract with Riff Raff set to start Feb 28th, 2018.
2018 – #2STONED started tour with riff Raff and literally traveled the entire United States (65+ cities and 30+ states) in two months. Meeting all kinds of new fans and making connections in all the different cities and states was the main goal and that was definitely accomplished. While on tour with Riff, they linked up for a new single and video that is set to release in November of 2018. Also, during the tour he released his newest single and visuals for “Answer His Phone” with Lil Flip.
2019 was another year full of making business moves, securing deals with more brands and still traveling all across the United States. #2STONED went on tour with Wifisfuneral and took Jawone Michael with him! Always Focusing on helping others and creating opportunities as much as possible.
To kick off 2020 #2STONED brought out Riff Raff to Austin, Texas for his cranberry vampire tour and it ended up being the most successful event of his entire tour! Coronavirus came around shortly after and everyone freaked out trying to figure out what to do. #2STONED packed his bags and headed to Los Angeles in hopes of being able to make some noise and really take the music to the next level. Long nights of hustle and a few months into being out in Los Angeles he ran across Junebug who had just created the viral dance #JuneBugchallenge. #2STONED just released his newest single and video with Lil Keke put his career on pause and immediately stepped into the management role for Junebug. The next six months, January 2021 – June 2021 #2STONED was traveling all across the United States once again but this time as the manager for Junebug booking shows, securing deals with brands like Reebok, NFL, Snapchat, BeatsByDre, Mcdonalds and much more! As soon as the #Junebugchallenge was coming to an end #2STONED immediately jumped into the next business move which was securing his own storefront in downtown Los Angeles and becoming a part of the official riff raff team. To end 2021, #2STONED toured with Riff Raff from September - December.
2022 - 10 years in the industry, #2STONED started off the year strong by partnering with Longhorn Daiquiris in his hometown, Austin Texas to help bring more business in and as usual create opportunities and platforms for up and coming artists to showcase talent and skill. #2STONED recently signed his own Label/Distribution deal with Empire / GT Digital and is set to release a bunch of new music and visuals starting February 2022. SXSW 2022 was amazing as #2STONED was able to give the opportunity to others in the music scene a chance to perform and/or do events at longhorn daiquiris.
April 2022 - September 2022 still on the grind, #2stoned has been releasing music and visuals non stop as well as acquiring another store front. This store front is in his hometown, austin Texas and it is right across the street from the austin airport, set to open October 2022. The store front will consist of a smoke shop, studio, lounge and more. Basically that one stop shop to help connect others with similar interests.
October 2022 - December 2022, The new store front was so popular and being the business man that he is, #2stoned sold out his part of the store to get back on the grind with the music and has been releasing new music left and right as well as doing even bigger events. The next one is December 10th at the Pasadena convention center with @gotsole performing in front of over 5000+ people!

After #SXSW was over the focus went back to working on his next business venture, Texas Smoke Connection with their newest addition “The Yard TSC” private event space. So #2stoned got straight to work with making sure April was going to be a busy month full of events for the yard, starting with April 15th, doing a Crawfish boil with live performances. Also creating the first ever 420HighFlyersClub Festival with 3 days of different events.

October was spent on the road as usual traveling to Los Angeles & Memphis for shows. November was a busy month joining RiFF RaFF on tour in Morro Bay & Hollywood and then going back to Austin to throw the entire concert bringing RiFF Raff to The Yard TSC. The concert was an amazing turn out and everyone had a great time, it was a very different type of concert as #2stoned gave the fans the ultimate experience as they got to not only hang out and vibe in the lounge but also got to hang out with RiFF for a personal one on one after the concert! To end 2023 the main priority was continue to focus on building the yard TSC even more. So for the next 3 months December 2023 - Feb 2024 all kinds of upgrades have been completed just in time for SXSW 2024. Having done SXSW since 2013 it was nothing new and #2stoned rented out the event space to multiple different people from New York, Atlanta, California and more to throw events and even did an event himself. April, May & June a lot of time was spent either booking out the yard TSC for people to throw events or #2stoned was locked in the studio with Rock Ali over at Montop Studios working on his newest album “T.W.O” set to release in August. Also in august #2stoned put together the kickback on the southside with lil keke going on at the yard TSC on august 3rd.
