Independent artist and entrepreneur Stevieontay Burnz prepares to release Burnz and Beyond, a new project built around cannabis culture, ambition, independence, and the real-life experiences behind The Southern Maryland Experience (The Experience Dispensary)
Stevieontay Burnz is bringing together two worlds that have become inseparable from his story: music and cannabis culture.
The independent artist, entrepreneur, and founder of The Southern Maryland Experience (The Experience Dispensary) is preparing to release his new album, Burnz and Beyond, a project that takes listeners deeper into the lifestyle, business, and experiences that have shaped both his music and his growing brand.
Rather than separating the artist from the entrepreneur, Burnz and Beyond puts both sides of Burnz on full display.
The album draws inspiration from his experiences building The Southern Maryland Experience, navigating the independent music industry, developing cannabis products and brands, and continuing to push forward through the challenges that come with entrepreneurship.
From The Southern Maryland Experience to Burnz and Beyond
Founded under Unlimited Experience Holding Company LLC, The Southern Maryland Experience / The Experience Dispensary has grown from its Maryland roots into a legal cannabis and hemp-focused retail brand with operations in North Carolina.
The company focuses on the legal, 21+ cannabis and hemp market, offering a curated selection of products while building a brand centered around cannabis culture rather than the traditional dispensary experience.
For Burnz, that business isn't separate from his music.
It is part of the story.
That connection can be heard throughout Burnz and Beyond, where cannabis references sit alongside themes of ambition, relationships, pressure, independence, success, and the realities of trying to build something from the ground up.
The Burnz and Beyond Rollout Begins
The album rollout begins with “Wax Wizardry,” arriving September 30, 2026.
Mixed and mastered by Crackle Kapone, “Wax Wizardry” introduces listeners to the cannabis-heavy atmosphere surrounding the project while showcasing the sound Stevieontay Burnz has continued developing as an independent artist.
The rollout continues with:
“Married to Mary” — October 7
“Terp Temple” — October 14
“The Experience” — October 21
AND MORE TO FOLLOW!
Each release expands the world surrounding Burnz and Beyond, connecting Burnz's music with the cannabis culture and entrepreneurial journey behind The Southern Maryland Experience.
The project also follows a growing run for Stevieontay Burnz that has included independent media coverage, radio exposure, interviews, live performances, and continued expansion of his presence across streaming platforms and music media.
More Than an Album
The title Burnz and Beyond represents exactly what Stevieontay Burnz is attempting to build.
The music is one part of a much larger vision.
As an artist, Burnz is building his catalog and identity independently. As an entrepreneur, he is continuing to develop The Southern Maryland Experience as a recognizable cannabis-focused retail and lifestyle brand.
Those paths now meet in Burnz and Beyond.
Instead of simply rapping about cannabis culture from the outside, Burnz's music comes from someone actively involved in the industry — dealing with the long hours, risks, regulations, branding, customers, products, and constant pressure involved in building a legal cannabis business.
That gives Burnz and Beyond a perspective that goes beyond cannabis references alone.
It's the soundtrack to the lifestyle behind them.
What's Next for Stevieontay Burnz
With Wax Wizardry kicking off the rollout September 30, Stevieontay Burnz is entering the next stage of his independent career with new music, expanded media coverage, and continued growth surrounding The Southern Maryland Experience.
For Burnz, the goal isn't simply to release another album or operate another dispensary.
It's to build an ecosystem where music, cannabis culture, entrepreneurship, art, and community can exist under one identity.
And with Burnz and Beyond, those pieces are beginning to come together.

From Englewood’s streets to the national stage, DaWeirdo’s journey is all about turning pain into power. Inspired by legends like Kanye West and André 3000, his sound blends poetic honesty with experimental flair. And now, with “Brothers,” he dives even deeper.
The track captures the duality of struggle and loyalty, pain and perseverance. Freddie Gibbs brings his signature raw edge, while DaWeirdo’s voice anchors the record with personal reflections and emotional depth. The collaboration feels organic—a meeting of two lyrical minds who know what it means to fight for every inch.
