Brothers Stoney is an Australian hip hop group hailing from Brisbane, Queensland. The crew comprises emcees Lazy Grey and Len One.

Brothers Stoney have been in the Australian Hip Hop scene since the mid 1990s[1] . The pair, along with Melbourne MC, Bias B[2] , were in a crew called Boney & Stoney. The Boney & Stoney self titled EP was released in 1999[3][4][5] .

Both Lazy Grey and Len One are members of the Brisbane hip hop crew, 750 Rebels.[6][7][1].

Lazy Grey was in a Brisbane band called Towering Inferno with DJ Damage and B-Boy Flex in 1995–1996.[8][9] Towering Inferno performed at the first B-Boy Kingdom hip hop jam in 1996.[10][11]

Lazy Grey has collaborated with artists such as Brisbane band, Resin Dogs (Hi Fidelity Dirt album, 2003)[12], Bias B, Brad Strut, Pegz, Tornts[1].

Lazy Grey's musical style has been described as Ocker hip hop by Tony Mitchell in his paper "The Reography of Reason: Australian Hip Hop as Experimental History and Pedagogy"[13] :

"‘Ocker’ hip hop is mainly Anglo-Australian, insists on using a broad Australian accent, with frequent swearing and recourse to Australian slang, decries MCs who rap with an American accent as ‘wack’ (ridiculous) and often celebrates aspects of Anglo-Australian working class culture like barbecues, sport and pubs. Prominent exponents include the Hilltop Hoods, Brisbane’s Lazy Grey and Perth-based ‘femcee’ Layla."[13]

OzHipHop.com's hip hop music reviewer, gerling in her review of Lazy Grey's The Soundtrack album, noted that,

"Lazy Grey has lost none of his frustrated verbal elegance, and with 'The Soundtrack' he proves that he is one of Oz hip hop's pre-eminent MCs. His diction is crisp, his flow is effortless and he can still write intricate, clever rhymes".[14]

Brothers Stoney have played at Livid Festival (2001)[15][16] , Good Vibrations Festival (2004)[17] and performed alongside artists such as Native Ryme Syndicate (2001). [18]

Brothers Stoney have had airplay on Australian radio programs and stations such as Triple J (2005)[19], 4ZzZ (2011)[20]and RRR (2009)[21], (2010)[22] as well as internet radio stations such as Pulse Radio (2003)[23].
