CEO & Host Of Access GRANTed Podstream Mr. Antwon Announces New Endeavors

Published

on

Meet Antwon Grant, famed in media as Mr. Antwon. Experience his journey into radio, podcasts, liquor, and more.

Known in the media world as “Mr. Antwon”, Antwon Grant joined the industry in 2014 as the founder and host of Baltimore Flava Radio along with his team of Dame Hunter, Mocha Soule and the late comedian CJ Burney on the WPB Radio network. The show ran weekly on Friday nights at 10 PM, then moved to Wednesday nights at 7 when the move was made to the Radio On Fire Network. The show then moved to WMSK Online radio a year later and Antwon also co-created a show called Dad Rap which was his first paid hosting gig.

After being a part of 3 networks, Antwon decided to take things to the next level and along with his then partners, Jay McGraw and AMichele, started the Worldwide Flava network. The three brought along their previously created shows, Baltimore Flava Radio, Freestyle Friday, The Entrepreneur Corner, and Baltimore Flava Gospel, and signed several successful shows to the network.   Antwon and Jay McGraw then decided to re-brand and create the Power 4.4 radio, bringing along many shows and signing new shows as well. 

In 2020, just as the pandemic hit, Mr. Antwon, stepped down as host of Baltimore Flava Radio and as co-owner of Power 4.4 Radio, leaving it with Jay, and focused on personal life and health. In November of that year, he returned to the airwaves with The Access GRANTed Podstream….a podcast that he is running independently.  With this show, he has been able to connect with guests and audiences globally.  In addition to some well-known names such as Melba Moore, Speech from Arrested Development, Digital Underground and others, he has also made sure to keep a balance and interview many independent artists and entrepreneurs from around the country and specially keeping Baltimore artists as a focus of the show.  

In 2022, Antwon launched his signature Long Island Iced Tea (Dirty Half and Half), curated by his business partner TipseePheen.  There is also now a signature Rum Punch available.  The two just celebrated their first successful year with the signature drinks and the plan is to hopefully have these drinks available for retail in the coming year or so.  He has also just recently created Access GRANTed Enterprises, LLC which will serve as the parent company for media ventures, the signature drinks, merchandise and future business endeavors.

Lee Mendelson Film Production’s  12” Limited Edition Heart-Shaped “Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown” LP Now Available 

Published

on

Lee Mendelson Film Productions proudly announces the release of their new 12” Limited Edition heart-shaped “Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown” LP, for a deeply personal project that honors and extends the timeless legacy created by their father, legendary producer Lee Mendelson, and composer Vince Guaraldi. More than an album, this release is a continuation of a cultural conversation that has resonated across generations.

For decades, the Charlie Brown specials and their music have remained an enduring part of American life. Their longevity is no accident. The legacy endures because, for the first time in popular culture, children spoke to one another honestly about feelings—about loneliness, hope, disappointment, joy, and belonging. Vince Guaraldi’s gentle, expressive compositions, paired with Lee Mendelson’s groundbreaking storytelling, allowed those emotions to be felt rather than explained, creating a rare emotional authenticity that continues to connect with audiences of all ages.

The 12” Limited Edition heart-shaped “Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown” LP  is rooted in that same emotional truth. Designed to reflect sincerity, love, and connection, the project carries forward the spirit of music that speaks directly to the heart. Rather than recreating the past, Jason and Sean Mendelson build upon it, honoring Guaraldi’s melodic warmth while introducing their own contemporary voice and perspective.

 This album is the first variant release from LMFP in 2026 that will begin the commemoration of 75 years since Vince Guaraldi started his recording career and 50 years since he passed away.

“This is the warmest, most lyrical musical offering of all the Guaraldi Peanuts scores,” Sean Mendelson said. “Additionally, I am proud to say that Lee Mendelson Film Productions is continuing with our sustainability efforts by manufacturing the heart-shaped LP in the bio-attributed method, which means it uses 90% less Carbon than a traditional record.”

The release stands as a tribute to a family legacy that changed how music and storytelling could communicate emotion, especially through the lens of childhood. It also marks a new chapter—one that respects tradition while embracing evolution.

With this heart-shaped album, the Mendelson’s reaffirm that music born from authenticity never fades. It becomes timeless.
