Marc Antoni - Attempts
Artist: Marc Antoni
Featuring: Theo Martins , Laws
Producer: The Trackslayerz
Album: Overnight EP
Label: SoundWave Music Group
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-sponsored Overnight EP, set to hit our mixtape page May 6.

Good track by these young up and comers. I liked Laws 16 the most (does he ever fail).

Nice introduction to the Booth for Mr. Antoni. Both guest selections were fitting and the production was solid, as well. Overall a solid listen. I am anxious to hear where he goes next.

This was a line-up that I'd do twenty chin-ups to listen to. I can only do two. But I tried. Awesome. Laws & Martins big in my books.

Strong track lyrically & production wise. I'm all on board for the hook though, everybody came through on a quality record.
