THE STORY
Award winning producer/composer Anthony “Antman Wonder” Reid the eldest of 5, loved creating since he could formulate a thought. Antman started on his creative journey in Philadelphia, PA sketching and writing. He began composing on a Casio keyboard mimicking the sample-heavy sound of the late 90’s. From fusing his sound with a record collection gifted to him by his grandfather, he built his sonic landscape over the years and would ultimately lend it to other notable producers and artists ranging from up and coming to legends.
Never one to set a limit, Antman has set his sights on scoring film and television.

COMPLEX
Who made the beat for “Bad and Boujee”? It should be a simple question. Most rap fans (and media outlets) would answer, without hesitation, Metro Boomin. But that’s not the full story. The songwriting credits list a Robert Mandell, better known as G Koop. And that leads us to a not-very-well-known side of how hip-hop works…
Review: PRhyme 2
NPR
The duo’s second collaborative album, PRhyme 2, out March 16, continues to build on hip-hop’s time-honored tradition of raw beats and ill rhymes. But old man rap this is not — at least, not exclusively. The concept of PRhyme (pronounced “prime”) itself is built on the concept of sonic innovation: Premier mines the sounds of one artist, exclusively — in this case, Philadelphia producer and songwriter Antman Wonder — then breaks it down and reconstructs it using his own signature, sample-based production style.
