Experimenting with sounds both pretty and austere, he’s something of a rap chameleon with an appreciation for all sorts of music.

Give any of Antwon’s critically acclaimed mixtapes or albums a cursory listen and you’ll hear a gifted MC worthy of the blogosphere’s accolades.
Upon first listen, the most obvious thing that makes Antwon so unique is his beat selection. Working with a sound that relies heavily on ’80s and ’90s goth and synth-pop, there’s a wide set of influences buried deep within each of the instrumentals he goes in over. But, it rests deeper than that. The hardcore days of his past are evident in his delivery, as well as his sometimes clouded lyrics. Pungently direct, yet shrouded in intermittent poeticism, his endearing character carried his early releases, but has just become a part of the stellar package with Heavy Hearted in Doldrums.

Antwon’s deft ability to absorb and recontextualize disparate musical elements has not gone unrecognized. While it’s no surprise that his refreshing approach has won an audience in the hip-hop world, it’s the percolating excitement over his tracks in the fickle indie rock press world and the hardcore-matinee-level crowd eruptions at his shows that really demonstrate Antwon’s burgeoning position as one of the leading voices in the rap community. With this building fanbase sending him out for performances across the U.S., U.K., and the far reaches of the European continent, Antwon’s cross-pollinated empire looms larger every day.
