It's really out responsibility as adults to educate our youth properly about sex, so that they are able to make better and well-informed decisions on the matter.

Entertainment Macco: Rumour has it that when you was going school, you use to be beating a riddim on people desk and that now yuh still do it, is that true, and is that how you figured out that you wanted to produce?
Da Ma$tamind: "Hahaha! Firstly, hell yes we used to beat riddim on de desk in school. Big up to meh good friend and St. Benedict’s classmate, Ikechi Griffith. He was the other main culprit. But the urge to produce music came long before the desk-beating days. I was always been curious about the process that takes place with a song before I hear it on radio."


Entertainment Macco: So Mastamind while we on the topic of rumours, I keep hearing all kinds of rumours about you and this rum and roti song, like is real rum and roti politics going on here boy? So yuh want to tell us who song it is?

Entertainment Macco: Eh heh!! no money exchanged hands in it's production? Noble are we?
