Marc Antoni ft. Theo Martins & Laws - Attempts
- Artist: Marc Antoni
- Track: Attempts
- Feat. Theo Martins, Laws
- Producer: The Trackslayerz
- Album: Overnight EP
It's been said so many times by so many people that calling it a cliché would be itself a cliché, but it's true: the road to success is almost invariably paved with failed Attempts. Whatever preceded Marc Antoni's grand entrance into the Booth, however, it looks like the first feature just might be the charm. Making its world premiere on our front page, this cut has all the pieces in place for a banger: a driving, piano-led beat by the Trackslayerz, a catchy hook, even guest bars by a few reader faves. Boldly, the Bostonian emcee saves his verse for last, allowing two Booth regulars to build up anticipation: Rhode Island's Theo Martins and Panhandle State repper Laws (both freestyle series alumni) blaze the joint's front two-thirds in engagingly braggadocious fashion, before handing the mic to Antoni for a determination-drenched closer. In his intensely-flowed final 16, he assures listeners that he's not about to quit anytime soon: “My intention is to stay here / like Visine, I hope my statement was made clear.” Has Marc hit it out of the park on his first at-bat? If you think so, you won't want to miss the freshness in store on his Booth-sponsoredOvernight EP, set to hit our mixtape page May 6.
