How Ant Clemons went from sleeping on floors to singing with Kanye West
Clemons started making trips from Philadelphia to Los Angeles in an attempt to break into the writing-producing community in 2016. “I was working in Red Lobster at the time,” he remembers, “and every two weeks I’m going out to Cali.” The routine: “Make as much money as you can, go out to L.A., when you don’t have no more money, come on back.” Clemons’ mother eventually agreed to help support a permanent West Coast move. He slept on two friends’ floor, writing a song a day in exchange for rent.
, a frequent Jeremih collaborator, Clemons says “the first day we met we did 11 records.” Ebong was shocked. “He’s like ‘Bro, I’ve never done this before.'” But Clemons had an ulterior motive: “There’s a couch in the studio, so if I outwork Bongo and he falls asleep, I can sleep on his couch.” After West released five short albums in five weeks last year — two as an artist, three on which he served as producer — Clemons didn’t see him again until the fall. Then he showed up in Chicago and found himself freestyling with two of his musical heroes. The skeleton of “Selah,” the second track on, was built in that freestyle session. “Everything You Need” also came out of the Chicago sessions.
