Rhode Island rapper Theo Martins connects with his old partner-in-crime Thelonious Martin on his new release "Bad Tendencies," a self-reminder to surround yourself with the right people and avoid negative energy at all costs. Thelonious' creative sampling has endeared him to the hearts of hip hop heads across the country, and he delivers sparkling production that dovetails nicely with Theo's message.
"Like the album, this song feels like a return to form. I left home in search of more and in search of something other than I knew," he told Fader. "For so long I've felt like Truman Burbank in The Truman Show and I had to see what was on the other side of the glass ceiling. So I left and never looked back. This song is a chapter in the story of leaving in search for more and finding yourself in the midst of the mess."
Smooth and confident, "Bad Tendencies" is the perfect song to take you into the weekend. Listen and follow Martins on SoundCloud.
Quotable Lyrics
Don't focus on the wrong energy
Dishonest energy
Meaningless energy
My biggest enemy
