Stono Echo is a duo comprised of Paten Locke on the beats & scratches + Jay Myztroh on vocals, keys & tenor sax. Their name, content and sound invoke the spirit of the 1739 Stono Rebellion, the largest African insurrection in the mainland British Colonies.

Their debut album, Black Diamonds is both a rousing call to action and thoughtful reflection on the American experience as a person of color. From the blue collar anthem, Workin to the interstellar introspective, Outer Limits, Stono Echos Black Diamonds is a rugged blend of R&B, hip hop & soul. Think of it as cosmic gospel.
