AntoneNow would go on to release his first single, “Piano Loving” with Millez313 when he was still just a record producer.

These small increments of lyrics would turn into complete songs that Antone would go on to release on all platforms. His first single, “Mixtape” showed his growth with producing and, most notably, his newfound energy for rapping. This new skill would land Antone on Eminem’s ‘Shade 45’ radio broadcast, where he would freestyle to hundreds of thousands of listeners, eventually earning the title of Shade 45’s demo battle champion. Antone used this title to release his second studio EP, ‘RAPPER B,’ after being labeled the 2nd rapper to A on the radio.
