Following his livestream appearance alongside multi-platinum producer Hit-Boy and hyper-viral streamer Neon, Atlanta’s own B.U.G Antman has released his latest single “No Pressure” – out now via Warner Records. “No Pressure” sees Antman in a return to form after the release of his summer EP Y’all Ugly. The Wondagurl-produced track is a moody, autotune-drenched song that picks up right where his previous singles have left off. It arrives on the heels of Antman’s sold-out opening performance on Lil Tecca‘s Dopamine tour and a non-stop run of singles, including “Cannot Kiss Me”, “F*ck the Plaintiff”, and “I’m Ugly and I’m Proud”, continuing the pace the 25-year-old rapper has set since coming onto the scene in 2019.
Over the past few years, Antman has crawled his way to the top of the new Atlanta scene, developing his singular approach across a series of projects, including Goats on a Cliff, Trap Infested, and I See Colors. His most recent project Y’all Ugly is Antman’s most immersive project yet, a psychedelic and groove-steeped voyage through the aspirations, anxieties, and indulgences of a budding rap surrealist. Highlights from the EP included “145 mph”, a woozy celebration of fast living that also tapped into the cost and coping that comes with the territory, and the funky, percussive “Over Knees”, which Antman brought to the On The Radar studio along with a couple of older actors who pretended to be his proud parents, supporting him as he performed the song. Throughout it all, Antman has served the “Colony” (as his fans call themselves) a steady stream of music and visuals underscoring his outsized charisma and otherworldly talent.

B.U.G Antman won’t let anyone outwork him. Recently, the 24-year-old rapper from Atlanta has been going all in, developing an impressive portfolio of independent singles like “Over Knees” and “Phone On Private,” which showcase his blend of straight-ahead rap bars with adventurous vocal inflections. Antman and his rapidly growing fanbase — which he lovingly calls his “colony” — are looking toward the future and aiming to leave a mark. The young B.U.G got his name because he preferred being outside catching critters to being parked on a couch playing video games. In high school, he discovered Lil Wayne and became obsessed with rap.
After graduating, he decided to dedicate all his energy to making his own music. From 2020 through the beginning of 2024, he worked to establish his presence in Atlanta and online. Soon, the young MC began to establish his signature sound. He released music at a rapid clip, creating every day but growing far more selective with what he put into the world. Those early singles and the Bakkwoods-produced Bug EP drew the attention of Terrence “Snake” Hawkins, Veeze’s label partner and manager, who implored Warner to ink B.U.G as soon as possible. Now, B.U.G Antman is itching to prove that he’s ready to deliver his most thrilling album to date. And that he’s in this for the long haul: “I am not letting this soak in. I’m just getting started.”
