Press Excerpt: "Theophilus Martins 'EP Doing It for Television "marks a turning point in my life." Martins spent some time "in solitude" before recording Doing It For Television. He addresses his time away on the opening track, the sticky "Under - Stay For the Credits," but he's not apologetic about it. "I believe that when pursuing any creative realm, you often find that you are selling yourself to others," say the rapper. But LA, where Doing It For Television was recorded and mixed, helped him escape this cycle. Sometimes taking time away is exactly what an artist needs; Martins is back with renewed vigor."— Elias Light, Billboard Magazine
