Marcus Antonio Warns Of ‘Trouble’

Few Dancehall artists can boast of an American Idol appearance on their CV, but Marcus Antonio has never been afraid of being an outlier. Super-talented, and hard-working, he has constantly sought to expand his horizons, and he believes that his latest single Trouble is destined to catapult his career to the next stratosphere.

“Trouble is a vibe, and I envisioned myself in Trinidad at a beach party having a real good time,” Marcus Antonio told DancehallMag.

“Trinidad culture–the music, the essence of the culture is a real vibe, and they know how to live it up. Trouble is a reminder to anyone who is in a relationship to never get too comfortable and take the one you love for granted. ”

Marcus Antonio, son of reggae/dancehall legend Mark “Dragon” Williams, has rebranded his image since 2018, the year of his American Idol appearance, but he has remained a swashbuckling heathen who does things his own way. He drives home the point with Trouble which is essentially a vibrant club banger with an interesting narrative, and a hidden warning for intimate relationships.

“Pay attention to the needs of the one you are with, because if you don’t, they will find someone who will, and get into some trouble,” he warned.

The single is set to ignite dance floors this summer, and the banger’s easygoing but intoxicating melodies mixed with the engaging narrative of the story, will remind music fans of  Shaggy’s ‘It Wasn’t Me’ featuring Rayvon.

Marcus Antonio is heavily invested in creating his legacy through his own unique moniker. Being produced by legends in the reggae space, Marcus paid his dues and learned the craft, from producers like Bobby Digital and artists such as Collie Budz. Providing a foundation, which creates a solid base for his music career, Marcus Antonio now seeks to continue the pay off by applying what he has learned.

With a refreshing and melodious series of keys, synths and an upbeat arrangement of drums, “Trouble” highlights a top tier dancehall production. The producers Josh Keez and King Recordings Entertainment put in that extra precise synergy, which helps this track to stand out among a sea of good dancehall songs.

Currently, Marcus Antonio is working on writing and producing his next project slated to debut in 2022. Marcus Antonio signed a venture with King Recordings Entertainment, spearheaded by renowned music manager, Basil “King” Beale.

Trouble is now available for streaming on all digital platforms.
