Though theantisocial only has three songs available on his SoundCloud, it’s pretty obvious from this small sample size that he can spit. On “Infatuated”—which comes in two parts—he exhibits an existential push and pull. He’s decisive about wanting to win, but doesn’t know if he should achieve that by working hard to find success, through music, or by taking a quicker route, through trapping. While those aren’t necessarily parameters we can all relate to, an infatuation with winning is. In the second half of the song, theantisocial realizes that, for him, rapping is indeed more rewarding. - DJ Booth

Bio
theantisocial, born Justin Bryan Smith on September 11, 1994, is an american hip hop artist from Landover, Maryland. Inspired by Talib Kweli, Outkast, Nas, and J. Cole, Anti began writing music to cope with the financial struggles his family experienced and his mother becoming chronically ill who later succumbed to a heart attack when he was just 13.
While attending college in New York, Anti's father was diagnosed with Cancer, putting a hinder on his family financially and causing Anti to leave New York and move back to Maryland at the end of his freshman year. After hanging up the mic to focus on taking care of his father and finishing his pursuit of education locally, he later used his struggle as motivation to keep going. He began releasing singles throughout the year and steadily building a following as “theantisocial”, a name that represents a mistaken characteristic; he just needs time to get to know you before opening up.
The success of his singles gave him recognition from the D.C. creative collective “Last Niight”, where he later joined and released two singles with them titled “SHOOK” and “EVOLVE”.
After many years of trials and tribulations, which developed him into hard-hitting lyricist with big red hair that he grew after an emotional breakup during his senior year of high school, theantisocial can’t help but to stand out.
Stay tuned for his debut project scheduled to drop mid-2018.
