~ROTI INTERVIEW~

An exclusive interview with King Roti from MastaMindz ENT has been up to a lot of good in spring 2009. Making moves left right and center (perpendicular to the square) live to air on BFTS radio show, taking part in a reality TV show, dropping the music video “Murdera”, planning a video shoot with KIM DAVIS, and so much more! If ya don’t know…now you do:

In May 2009 you and the MastaMindz crew where on the radio show BFTS (Beats From The Streets), you mentioned that times were tuff for you growing up; how’s life treating you now?

Um, life’s treating me all right, I guess…still in the same position, just different opportunities come across. Still have struggles!

So, ‘the word on the street’ is that Roti will be on a Reality TV Show, is that true?

Ya!

Can you give us the details on that (what and when)?

Airing on City TV in the fall, airing on Mondays (I think)…you will see commercials and trailers coming out about it…you’ll see your boi! I’ve already done some promo media about the show; I’ve done some interviews, and features….

Did you find it hard to be ‘comfortable’ during the filming for the reality TV show?

Um at first I didn’t, cameras all in your face, for like 16 hours a day! The craziness came out after, we forgot the cameras where there. Got used to it after a while, mind you the pay was not great…it was ten weeks of shooting.

The new release “Murdera” by: you (Roti) ft. Sinister has 1,200,000 plus hits on the Internet- what was the most memorable comment you received about that track/video?

I think this guy on youtube(.com)… he said the video was “Too Sick” it was one of the first comments on that video…most people gave really long comments…I think that’s what we all thought when we seen the first cut…we said: it’s TOO SICK!

HOOKEDUPB got a sneak listen to the new single with Kim Davis “Let’s Get Away” it’s a romantically sweet track. Is “getting away” something that’s on your mind a lot?

With a girl (lol)…getting away, ya, with a chick… it’s always good to get away once and a while. It’s about a guy taking a girl out! Not about falling in love- it’s about being in love. I wouldn’t say leave the city but taking her out of the city for a while.

The video shoot is coming up for “Lets Get Away”- can we expect some fly boats and stretch SUV’s in this one, like your other videos (“Waiting For You” and “Murdera”)?

Ha ha! This one we’re gonna put a surprise in- a private jet, one 6 figure SUV, a Coupe, and got a $2000 presidential suite. This should be the biggest video from me. We have pure links on sponsors! And it’s gonna take two days to finish the shoot, and it’s only three weeks away.

“100 Bars” is a track that shows a different side of you, do you feel that it is a massage that needed to be sent?

A message ya of course- for Internet Wangster’s! There’s a lot of people who think they know me from the Internet; and people that are friends, people that know me! I’m talking the truth in that track. People where even saying I couldn’t pull off the past videos I’ve done…

You and the MastaMindz crew put together a “Tell The Children The Truth” charity event this year and donated the proceeds to an orphanage in Sri Lanka. Do you feel you made an impact on bringing awareness on this issue publicly or socially?

First off we made $1,100- a moderate success! We did not get the turn out we expected. It was an ‘in house’ – outta pocket event. It all started because some friends of mine approached me about the topic, so I thought it was worth trying. It turns out people didn’t even show up, it was disappointing! People just talk, talk, talk…I feel good about it though; now there are a few kids in Sri Lanka that get something they wouldn’t have before. Just a little disappointing about people not showing up for the cause; it was only $5 at the door… just got to take it for what it is; I’ll think twice before I do another event like that again.

Is there anything else you would like to add?

Yum…look out for the “Lets Get Away” Video- HOT! Tracks going on video! I’m doing a track with Snow (ya SNOW)! The TV show, and I’m in the works of setting up a tour in the UK…and there’s an album in progress, but it’s gotta be a ‘master piece’…I wouldn’t release anything else NOW- before was different though!
