Tyran Donaldson II, also known as Scum, Pete Nebula and The Antydote, is an American songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist best known for his work with Rihanna ("Consideration"), SZA ("Love Galore"), Kendrick Lamar ("Complexion (A Zulu Love)"), and Isaiah Rashad ("Rope // rosegold"), among many others. He is currently an in-house producer for label Top Dawg Entertainment.

Donaldson, a novice guitarist and early music industry friend of fellow producer ThankGod4Cody, began playing several melancholy guitar chords while in the studio with SZA, who requested a looped recording of the chords at the conclusion of the studio session. This loop would become the soundscape for 2017 Ctrl album opener "Supermodel", later Grammy-nominated for Best R&B Song.
