RVA MUSIC FEST: Just Plain Ant

by | Aug 23, 2011 | MUSIC

The founder of local hip-hop crew Just Plain Sounds has been producing music since he was a teenager. He incorporates a variety of influences into his shifting sound, which merges hip-hop and soul with jazz, electronic music, and more experimental styles to bring a unique feel to his own work, as well as that of quite a few other Richmond artists. His latest release is a single called “The Bridge,” which also features the talents of local MC The Honorable Sleaze, and is the first track from his upcoming full-length, [albumtitle] (no, that’s not an editing mistake, that really is the name of the record). Just Plain Ant will be performing during RVA Music Fest at the Camel Showcase on Saturday September 10.
