Atlanta rap surrealist B.U.G Antman drops “145 mph,” a woozy celebration of fast living out now via Warner Records. The new single adds to the holistically hypnotic, trippy, and color-saturated world the young artist is building and leads the way to his forthcoming EP, Y’all Ugly, arriving March 21st.
“145 mph” drops you right into the groove where lo-bit keys pulse, and disembodied voices pinwheel through the ether. B.U.G Antman’s vocals cut through the track, zooming past places he’s been.
Ahead of the release, B.U.G Antman shared his vision for the single. “I’m trying to set a bold tone for my project with this one,” he details. “Showing my vulnerable side. This lifestyle really gets to you sometimes.”
The track sees Antman recount his brief flings on the road. As an artist in constant transit, fleeting moments are filled with casual sex and drugs as coping mechanisms, suppressing the perpetual heartbreak he endures in pursuit of his musical endeavors.
The “145 mph” video drops B.U.G Antman into one of the many metropolises he mentions, NYC. Even as he walks the streets, overpasses, and subways, the artist is in a world of his own — impeccably styled and working on a joint while the city moves in slow or backward motion. At certain points, it gets markedly strange, with wild zoom-outs that wormhole through windows, crosswalk signals, construction scaffolding, and security mirrors. The POV is entirely his own.
Keep up as B.U.G Antman picks up speed across 2025.
