The world has lost a true musical icon. Angie Stone, a powerhouse singer, songwriter, and pioneer in hip-hop and R&B, leaves behind a legacy that will forever be etched in the hearts of music lovers. From her early days as part of The Sequence to her solo career that redefined neo-soul, her impact on the industry is immeasurable.
Before the world knew her as Angie Stone, she was Angie B, one-third of The Sequence—the first female rap group to sign with a major label. Alongside Cheryl “The Pearl” Cook and Gwendolyn “Blondy” Chisolm, The Sequence made history in 1979 with their hit “Funk You Up,” a track that not only put women on the hip-hop map but also became one of the most sampled songs in rap history. Their influence paved the way for future female MCs, proving that women had a place in the male-dominated hip-hop world.
Angie Stone’s musical journey didn’t stop with The Sequence. She evolved into one of the most influential voices in R&B and neo-soul. Her solo career soared in the late ’90s with classics like “No More Rain (In This Cloud),” “Wish I Didn’t Miss You,” and “Brotha.” Her sultry, rich voice carried the essence of soul legends before her while bringing a fresh, contemporary edge that resonated with fans worldwide.
She wasn’t just a singer—she was a storyteller. Her lyrics spoke to love, heartbreak, resilience, and Black excellence, making her music a soundtrack for those seeking truth and authenticity.
Beyond her discography, Angie Stone’s fingerprints are all over the music industry. Her influence is undeniable, and her spirit will continue to live through the music she gave us.
Losing Angie Stone is a heartbreaking moment for the music community. She was more than a singer—she was a movement, a bridge between hip-hop’s golden era and the soul revival of the ’90s and ’00s. Her voice, her words, and her presence will never be forgotten.
Thank you, Angie Stone, for the music, the love, and the legacy. May you rest in power, forever celebrated and never forgotten.

why isn’t that same love shown in the life of a star while they are alive ?
The industry of an entertainer isn’t
