Anthony Davis, one half of Atmosphere, has announced a solo album under his production name, Ant. The new record is called Collection of Sounds: Volume 1, out Sept. 6 on Rhymesayers Entertainment.
"I guess I have the audacity to believe I could put out a four volume instrumental music project, composed of music I’ve made over the last 30 years, and call it great art," Davis says in a press release from the label.
Ant is a co-founder of Rhymesayers and will be on tour with Atmosphere this summer.
Check out two solo singles below.
