Hip-Hop has many channels of communication, promotion and just overall song discovery, but perhaps most importantly is what comes from the strip clubs. Staples in cities like Atlanta, Los Angeles and Las Vegas have long been known to break records which makes sense why rappers would want to tap into that market. Never the one to miss an opportunity to showcase himself, Big Homie Stone (F.K.A. Kiari The Stone) delivers his new potential anthem, “Private Show.”

Set to the tone of ridiculous production by UliCookUp, “Private Show” sees Stone deviates from the Neo-Soul sounds of his debut album PRMSLND, & instead sees the Vegas native attempting to expand his horizons. “Man I’ve been in my bag with the strip club records lately,” Stone tells RESPECT. via text, “I’ve always told people I was gonna do a run of booty club music but I never did. I always made serious ‘Hip-Hop’ soulful shit, or whatever you wanna call it. But the 2007-2012 house party scene was so influential on everything I did, It’s like goin back to yo roots.” Stone continued, “Vegas don’t relate to everything but we relate to ratchet.”

The, “Wrong Reasons” rapper always explained his new name change from Kiari the Stone, which carried him thru his entire career, to Big Homie Stone, which represents the next chapter. “The new name is just a growth thing. I don’t even think of it as a ‘change’ it’s more like an evolution. Charizard to Charmeleon type shit. I ain’t even took my final form.”
