Wavelengths: Weekend Playlist by Ant The Symbol

by | Nov 23, 2018 | MUSIC

Every Friday night, RVA Mag drops one scorcher of a playlist curated by influential artists, musicians, and institutions.

This time around we have an excellent selection of tunes from local hip-hop producer Ant The Symbol, whose latest album, The Motions, came to us earlier this summer from Gritty City Records. His gifted musical ear and knack for finding the best collaborators also shows through in this playlist, which will warm up your chilly holiday weekend with some hot hip hop before taking you into a more pensive mood.

Fire it up, Virginia.
