Wax - I Shoulda Tried Harder

Artist: Wax

Producer: Wax

Label: Scrublife

With thousands of loyal fans and several dope projects under his belt, I think it’s safe to say that Wax is doing well for himself. Even so, the Booth fave can’t help but wonder how things might have gone if he’d actually had his sh*t together, avoided weed and liquor, and applied himself from the get-go. On I Shoulda Tried Harder, the final single off his just-released independent debut album, the rapper revisits decades’ worth of squandered opportunities, wishing he’d put in that little bit of extra effort that could have set him on the path to 50 Cent or P. Diddy-scale success in the game. It all might be a little depressing, if it weren’t for Wax’s sunny, upbeat production, as well as his typically tongue-in-cheek delivery. Featuring this cut, reader-approved singles Toothbrush and We Can’t All Be Heroes and more, Continue… is available now for digital purchase via iTunes.

Lucas G. DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 698	Rating: Lucas G.'s Top Rated Songs Don't let Wax's self-deprocation fool you. He is one of the harder working emcees around. How else can you explain the body of work he has?
