Born in Key West, Florida, to an African-American father and a Filipino mother, Antwon grew up in Sunnyvale, California. He was a member of the Philadelphia-based hardcore band Leather, as well as the pop punk bands Sour Patch and How to: Summer. Antwon's first mixtape, Fantasy Beds, was released in 2011.

In 2013, he released a mixtape, In Dark Denim. It was listed as Spins "Rap Release of the Week". His first official studio album, Heavy Hearted in Doldrums, was released on UNIF and Nature World in 2014. In 2016, he released an EP, Double Ecstasy, on Anticon. In 2017, he released a mixtape, Sunnyvale Gardens. Red Bull placed it at number 20 on the "20 Best Hip-Hop Mixtapes of 2017" list. Style and influences
Spin described Antwon as "an affable guy who might have one of rap's biggest, best-sounding voices, which he usually focuses on goofy jokes and surprisingly sweet bedroom raps." He has often been compared to The Notorious B.I.G. He noted Kid Rock as his greatest influence. Controversy
In 2016, Antwon formed Secret Circle along with Wiki and Lil Ugly Mane. Since then, the group released several tracks and played live performances across North America. In 2018, Lil Ugly Mane announced the breakup of the group, not initially indicating a specific reason for the breakup. Antwon posted a statement on Twitter, alluding to unnamed allegations. Wiki and Lil Ugly Mane subsequently indicated that the allegations mentioned in Antwon's statement, including abusive treatment of women, were the impetus for the breakup. Discography
