Lucky for him there will be plenty more interviews to come -- the Bay Area experimental rapper is on the ascendant, with recent mixtapes End of Earth and In Dark Denim lighting up the Internet. Over a sound that is sometimes sprawling and dreamy, other times dark, industrial, pounding and distorted, Antwon raps about "feelings of loneliness, things you're going through yourself." This emotional honesty -- something that sets Antwon apart in the otherwise oversaturated Internet-rap scene -- is defined by his commitments to punk and hardcore. "Punk and hardcore and rap and hip-hop are all street music, they're all the people's music," he explains. "I always liked rap music when I was a kid but I liked other stuff too. There were a lot of times when other kids were like, 'Why are you listening to white people's music?' But I didn't give a fuck. I went to school in upper-class areas and lived in the hood. I was just about being friends with people. I liked a lot of stuff, and that was a good thing."
