Emoni Payne (born 2003), known professionally as st47ic, is an American rapper and producer who pioneered the Internet microgenres 2k13 Hood EDM and jerk. He formed the collective Witchgang and is a member of rapper Xaviersobased's collective 1c34.

Payne has been described by Pitchfork as an "enigmatic artist".

Early life

Emoni Payne was born in 2003[citation needed] in Tennessee, United States.[1]

Career

Payne coined the microgenre 2k13 Hood EDM.[2][1][3] In 2021, he released the single "Witches and Angels" produced by New York rapper Xaviersobased.[2] Writing for Pitchfork, music journalist Alphonse Pierre stated it was "The must-hear rap song of the day" adding that, it "was made to soundtrack a fan made AMV (probably one with demons and lots of blood)".[2] Pierre compared the song to the work of Goth Money Records.[2] Payne was previously a part of the now defunct Jewelxxet collective formed by Luci4.[3][4][5]

In October 2024, British artist Mark Leckey and music journalist Kieran Press-Reynolds played Payne's song "*WGOKYS* GENRE KILLER" on NTS Radio.[6] Press-Reynolds ranked his song "Emoni" at number 1 on his list of "The top 15 songs of 2024", stating "st47ic should be one of the most celebrated of this generation, but I selfishly hope he stays underground so he’ll keep dropping hellspawn bass and writing titles so long they're like evil haikus."[7]

Payne formed the collective WitchGang, described by British magazine I-D as an "anarchic collective" which featured rappers such as p6nk.[3][1] In 2023, rapper Zuro brought Nettspend to a WitchGang Discord server early in his career.[3]
