We don't have accents except waaaay up North in "Iron Range" territory. In the Twin Cities there are little to no accents. The movie Fargo gave us a bad stereotype. We all talk like what I would consider normal, or like how the majority of people sound on TV or in movies(if that makes sense).
His stage name is "Ant", short for Anthony. He works on "Rhymesayers Entertainment" label, which is the label he and Slug founded years ago, and the same label Brother Ali is on. They have some other great local acts on there as well, and Ant does some of the production for other artists as well, but mostly Atmosphere and Brother Ali, who he normally does the whole album for. He is who does the beats for Atmosphere and Brother Ali. Ant technically is one half of Atmosphere, Slug being the other half of the duo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant_(producer) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhymesayers_Entertainment I'm convinced he is Steven Segal.
