Antt Beatz

Antt Beatz is one of the architects of the new Detroit sound, and his new EP, Tryna See Sumn, highlights many of The D's up-and-coming rappers, including Tee Grizzley, Baby Tron, Dame Dot, Baby Money, GT, Motown Ty and Skilla Baby. As a 10-plus-year veteran producer and artist, Antt Beatz is a proven leader in giving Detroit its sonic identity. He's made hit songs for Lil Baby, 42 Dugg, Tee Grizzley, Icewear Vezzo, and Eminem. Now, as artists worldwide seek Detroit's signature basslines and uptempo tracks, Antt Beatz supplies the sound he helped cultivate. Future, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Durk, and YNW Melly are just some of the stars who have collaborated with Antt Beatz. "I've heard a few good imitators," he says with a laugh, "But they're always gonna come back home." The artist/producer, who appeared on FX's Hip-Hop Uncovered, is a proud Detroit ambassador. After decades of grinding, Antt Beatz now owns a record label, Beat Gang, and the Hit House building, home to three state-of-the-art studios. His list of credits includes anthems like Lil Baby, 42 Dugg, and Veeze's "U-Digg," Vezzo and Kodak Black "It’s All On U," Eminem, Royce 5'9, and Trick-Trick's "Twerk Dat Pop Dat," and 42 Dugg's "Crippin'." Even though the latter was removed from YouTube, it was integral to 42’s discovery—something both Yo Gotti and Lil Baby have told Antt.
