Rob $tone Breaks Down His Influences: From Wiz Khalifa to Pink Floyd

Rob $tone's rising single "Chill Bill"—which is nearly a Top 40 hit as it jumps seven spots to No. 43 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week—hints that the San Diego rapper is only interested in turn-up jams. But the 21-year-old's musical makings go much deeper than that. 

Watch above as the Fuse First artist and former trumpet player details how his dad introduced him to reggae and rock music in elementary school (his dad loved Aerosmith; Rob prefers Pink Floyd), plus how Future, Kid Cudi and, in particular, Wiz Khalifa all influenced his rap career.
