He hit the music scene at the young age of 13, rapping with other local artists until he formed a rap group called Self-Made. They then recorded their first album which was self-titled in late 2001 and hasn’t looked back since. The group later broke up and A-N-T went his separate way to pursue a career as a solo artist. He has performed at past local venues and talent shows, such as 20 Grand East, Central Park & Bistro, Poole Palace, local high school talent shows, parties, bar open mics, etc.
He has a style like no others but some like to compare him to B.o.B and Andre 3000 all in one, with a little bit of T.I. on the side. He soon discovered his great talent for beat making and R&B song writing; which opened his creativity even more. In October of 2004 A-N-T started his own production company entitled A.M.P. (Atlanta Music Productions) owned by A-N-T and TK (Timi King). Later he discovered his engineering skills; due to the fact that his producer left the state he practically had no choice. He then began to build his own in house studio to help sharpen his craft at his own convenience. Renting out studio time and selling beats was a way to help fund the process.
Soon A-N-T started engineering for a lot of people around Atlanta and Marietta. Shortly afterwards he ran across “Kuntry Klub Music” and started engineering for the affiliated artist. In January 2011 A-N-T made the brave step departing from his company A.M.P. and joined The Kuntry Klub as an official solo artist. He then put out an eleven track EP with The Kuntry Klub entitled “The Preface”. The EP really showed the diversity that the artist holds. With the help of his management he planned on taking the world by storm with his unique talent.
He later was offered the opportunity to perform at SXSW and open up for Khia (My neck my back) and debut his first single under the wing of Kuntry Klub Music “American made”. The single itself got great reviews as well as a great response from the SXSW audience. 2012 kicked off great for A-N-T. He won top 10 artists out of 75 in a talent search of all genres for Sony Music with the Joel A. Katz music & entertainment business program at Kennesaw State University. He continued doing performances that they would setup through the program ending with the final show performing for the R&B sensation Faith Evans.
He recently has been doing shows everywhere he can showing the constant grind that he has. Influenced by some of the most successful artists such as Outkast, Busta Rhymes, Ludacris, and other southern artist, he’s the next up and coming artist out the “A”. He hosts, engineers, graphic designs, produces, writes both hip-hop and R&B, and has a stage presence like you've never seen before. A-N-T has always had a great passion for music and entertainment, and since he’s started, THERE IS NO STOPPING HIS TALENT AND AMBITION NOW!!!!

Trapped In The Storm
A-N-T Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo what's up.
For those who don't know.
I go by the name of Tech N9ne.
I'm gonna let you in on a little secret.
Some of the things already known, that are familiar with me.
and my thoughts.. so these are the real thoughts.
I'ma share with you like this.

Don't you come near me 'cause the Devil's sittin' next to me
I drink my drink, and smoke my weed and pop my ecstasy
Then add some GHB and mushrooms to the recipe
This means I'm really lettin the beast within get the best of me

If you can hear me, I need help
I'm caught and I'm stuck and I'm trapped in this self
Don't understand this fucked up hand that G dealt
Lazarus help me 'cause it's hazardous to T's health
He's set trippin' he's tryna get a nigga killed
and get a nigga peeled, the other side is gonna rid 'em in the field
No sentimental feelings, send 'em in the cold buildings
I tried to tell him where you go you will not see your women and your children
He popped, fifteen hits of ex in one night
Lick dick tips have sex with some dykes
And he won't use protection for my erection
Constantly makin' me get that pencillin injection

Wait, I hear voices, speakin' from inside
I'm out front waitin', he creepin' and he hides
I can't help but notice he's kinda stuck up, I'ma let it slide
But in the meantime shut the fuck up, and just ride

[Chorus]
Oooooh I'm a psycho baby.
Oooooh it's about to drive me crazy.
Oooooh I'm a psycho baby.
Oooooh it's about to drive me crazy.

When I was younger I used to faint at the sight of blood
Now that I'm older I notice that it ain't at the sight of blood
Now the sight of blood equals the very first sign of love
Menstrual cycles, feeling like you right at your height of drugs
Bleed for me baby, made your heart rage
Fuckin' you makes me feel a murderous sensation, blood mixed with ejaculation
Cum bustin', bump heads 'til concussions
After we done fuckin', if I can't get the spirit I've won nothin'

I got children, and a wife
He's thinkin' of leapin' off a buildin', takin' flight
By now somebody shoulda killed him, end his life
Too many motherfuckers feel him, and his mic
Somebody stop him 'cause he's fuckin' up my livelihood
With me trapped inside this psycho how can I be good
To my wife the (?) only close to it for money, he's in it
A monster running back and forth from the free clinic
If you a friend, time to say toodaloo
'Cause ain't no possible way he can ever be true to you
Careful your appointment could do the due
If he wants to kill hisself, what the fuck you think he want to do to you?

[Chorus]

I am a nightmare walkin', psychopath talkin'
Brain deteriorating 'cause I'm ex pill poppin'
I got more troubles, whatever you got it doubles and triples
and quadruples, havin fantasies of eatin' nipples and noodles
Drugs take the pain away
Used to have a lotta love but now I fade away
The fact, that women love the music and they open they legs
for a psychopathic nigga that's so fucked up in the head, it's beautiful
(Told my parents this isn't suitable)
Devil bitches'll learn (No!) Gotta recruit a few
(This nigga's gonna do me harm! I'm drugged up and I'm torn!)
(Look at this motherfucker he colored my hair orange!)
You can't touch me, everybody loves me
Listening to my music, children are gettin' ugly
If I told you everything I was thinkin' it wouldn't be G
Tellin' you how many crossed my path just wouldn't be me
But they know, 'cause they way low
About some ex and fry and jayo and fuck a halo
Alotta Jim Beam to have grim dreams would be healthy
(Aiyyo I'm trapped in psycho's body, can ya help me?)

[Chorus: x3]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to A-N-T's song Trapped In The Storm depicts the struggles of an individual who is trapped in their own thoughts and addictions. The opening lines of the song indicate the struggle with drugs and the darker side of oneself. The lyrics use vivid imagery to describe the extent to which the singer is willing to go to satisfy their own desires, including mixing different kinds of drugs. The chorus amplifies the sentiments of the first verse, with the repetition of the phrase "I'm a psycho baby." It indicates a level of self-awareness on the part of the singer, that they are not themselves due to their dependence on drugs to feel normal.

The second verse of the song explores the twisted mindset of the singer as they seek validation through violent and self-destructive actions. The lyric "the sight of blood equals the very first sign of love" belies a deep-seated issue with intimacy and destructive behavior. The singer mentions a family, but they seem to be an anchor in the storm of self-destructive behavior. The inclusion of the reference to the free clinic suggests a possible struggle with sexually transmitted infections. The final phrase of the song "Aiyyo I'm trapped in psycho's body, can ya help me?" highlights the singer's struggle with the darker part of themselves and their need for help.
