Stone Deep

Stone Deep is an American rock band from Nashville, Tennessee. The group formed in 1992 and reunited in 2022.

The band plays rap rock, rap metal, and hard rock - each as a different amalgam of Southern rap and guitar-driven rock ‘n’ roll and with a lyrical focus on social issues.[1]

The band navigated several lineup changes through the 1990s[2] and then, after a 23-year hiatus began performing and releasing music again in 2022. The current lineup consists of founding members Ronzo "The Beast" Cartwright, Glen Cummings, and DJ KUTT/Terry Hayes together with the longest serving rhythm section: bassist Tim Books and drummer David Howard.[3]
