In a great game of basketball, not all great magic only happens inside the court. Sometimes wonders do happen off the court: in between quiet practice, the buzzing hype right before a game starts, and the unpalpable dedication of a player on the bench eager to change the course of the game. All this hype and unseen energy are what Mar Keith Anthony has successfully encapsulated on his new EP entitled, “The Sixth Man”.
This is a 5-track intensity-packed EP that showcases the gritty and energetic craftsmanship of Mar Keith Anthony. This Los Angeles-based musician knows the reality of how this city can be your dreams and at the same time can be your worst case of loss since it’s also a brutal court where your only way out is to survive. As featured in the tracks, Mar Keith Anthony created a huge impact with the help of the 4x Grammy Award-winning producer Jairus Mozee. This EP is absolutely insane, it carries the weight of the phenomenal sound crafted by an artist with four Grammys up his sleeves (this ain’t no joke) and the grit and wisdom of an artist who knows what it takes to be successful and be in the game.
“Go In” opens this EP with the weight of relentless ambition. It is audacious and definitely packed with intense crackling energy. This legendary track was leaked and already hyped the absolutely crazy crowd of 20,000 audience in a Lakers vs. Warriors game. It is a moment of pure unbridled excitement – the moment is electrifying, the energy is palpable, and this song boosts it to the max maximizing all the buzz in the stadium.
“Keep it 100,” on the flip side, brings genuine lyrics to the table. Mar Keith Anthony doesn’t hold back when it comes to sharing lines that resonate with listeners, blending wisdom and honesty seamlessly. This song highlights Mar Keith Anthony’s storytelling skills, making the emotions and experiences conveyed feel incredibly authentic and relatable.
Lastly, the track “Put Me in the Game” is an absolute anthem. It is the quiet fire that you protect when doubt cripples your system. This track is for moments of your loss – this is a track that can definitely speak through your soul. Like a friendly and supportive coach, this song whispers a relentless message of not giving up and giving yourself a chance to be put out there.
“The Sixth Man” is not just about the fancies and glamors. It talks about winning and the story and hardships experienced behind it. It is a musical form of your hunger to do great and your belief that your exact moment is going to come. Mar Keith Anthony successfully captured all these through his music – this EP is the voice for those who do not want to quit, for those who know that as long as the buzzer doesn’t ring everything isn’t over yet.
