Catching the F**k Up With Allen StonePosted by Nathan S. on 01/31/13 | Filed under Non Hip-Hop, Allen Stone |

Right off the bat, obviously the first thing anyone notices about Stone is that he looks like he's the kind of guy who plans his year around Comic Con. You can't deny it,there's a definite "sweet baby jesus, that nerdy white boy can really sing soul" element to his appeal. But once you get past the initial surprise of hearing that voice come out of that person, you'll find some just straight up quality soul music.
This post obviously isn't going to help up my (already non-existent) street cred, but fuck it. As much as I obviously love hip-hop, in order to maintain my sanity I need to listen to other music. And when I do, Allen Stone's up there on my playlist.
If you're feeling similarly inspired, you might just want to check out that aforementioned free EP. Enjoy...
