Tony Bontana is a Birmingham rapper, producer, and multi-instrumentalist pushing UK experimental hip-hop with his self-defined “Splayed” style—distorted samples, non-linear rhythms, and raw lyricism—released through his label Everything is Perfect Records. His work spans personal projects like L’Humanité, the left-field mixtape TUMPIT (2025), and collaborations such as "The Beautiful Malaise", blending hip-hop with punk, indie, and soul. A frequent collaborator with artists like Novelist, Lil B, Billy Woods, and Goya Gumbani, Bontana is also an eclectic DJ, with sets on NTS, BBC Radio 1, Balamii, and a weekly show on Birmingham Sounds Radio. Praised by Pitchfork, The Wire, and Afropunk, he is fast becoming a distinctive voice in the global underground.
