Born in LES Manhattan & raised in Brooklyn New York by his Dominican mother ILL BEAST ™ formely known as ANTLIFE, learned the various styles of music through these streets and grew a love & bond for hip hop throughout the 90's. At the age of 15 Antlife began to write lyrics inspired by the tough streets and the trials & tribulations in his life at that time, this alone made it fairly easy for him to adapt to the style of laying down hard & ferocious lyrics. In 1994 he started to record songs with friends at local home studio's and started to create a buzz in the streets, he quickly became the spark to each cipher & the life of many rhymers, becoming the voice of the streets to all his followers. He decided on naming himself “ILL BEAST ™" because of his well known hard work ethic & for the mere confidence of his lyrics breathing life back into society. In 1999 ILL BEAST ™ suffered a setback and was imprisoned for 2 years of his life, it was at this time that he decided to change his life and go hard on his music, writing as much as he could in these 2 years. When he was released he came back home and started recording music again, gaining high recognition in his neighborhood. Seeing his own patterns beginning to take him down the same path as it did in 1999 he relocated down south to Orlando Florida in 2004. A couple years later he hooked up with Smoke N Mirrorz as there passion for music was exactly the same as his and began to compose beats and songs together. They then formed "The G.I. League" in 2009 and began to record material together and released a mix tape in 2010 entitled "Time Is Of The Presence" which you can find on all major music distributions on the web.

In a race to establish a name within the rap industry ILL BEAST ™ continues to record music faithfully and is establishing an excellent career. Inspired by the likes of Rakim, Jay-Z, Nas, Royce Da 5'9 and countless others. ILL BEAST ™ brings you his raw intellect and vivid pictures to hard production like the Freemind produced "U Need Therapy" where he spits bars like: "Take shots from this ammo, then I rewind the pain/ Games over m***er f***er remember my name/ Antlife" ( Now going by ILL BEAST ™). Asked how far he wants to take his career he replies "As far as my mind can take me", thats a good reply for someone who's artistic mentality is far beyond the average, a rising star.
