“ANTWON couldn’t give a fuck even if he wanted to—an original artist that’s always evolving, swerving recklessly in the lane that he built.”

ANTWON is an enigma. He’s convoluted, weird, and raw as fuck. His music has pushed the boundaries, subsequently forcing his own genre. And that’s the master of his craft; he refuses to stay in one lane. In fact, SPIN once referred to him as a “ teenaged Biggie in that famous street-corner freestyle resurrected as an ex-hardcore dude.” Pretty high accolades.

Now, the Californian hip-hop artist is hitting the Australian shores for the first time. Having performed with artists such as White Lung and Leif, ANTWON will be hitting up some of the most iconic Australian venus, including the Yours & Owls Festival in Wollongong.

If his complexity of his music is anything to go by, these shows will be special.
