DON MAFFIA shares his STORY (Pt1) 🇯🇲

[@tafimutekwe2855]

The "child" in us never leaves us to the end. The way Mafia describes his granny in such glowing words shows how much he adored her for the love she gave him as a child. Parents should love their children and adults should treat all children with love because it has an everlasting impact.

Based on my personal experience, you can train yourself to not allow it to take over your life. However, for some reason your mind takes you back and when you start reflecting on it, regardless of how strong or successful you are, 9 out of 10 times it's really emotional. You never ever get over your mother's rejection - it lives with you forever! That's why so many of us that were nurtured by our grandparents are so emotionally vested in them!

Excellent interview! Don Mafia is a lyricist no doubt, however his main weaknesses are his inability to create melodies and ride a rhythm. His inability to create melodies is highlighted by the fact that he specialises in counteracting other artistes’ songs. He used other artistes’ melodies and add his powerful lyrics. If he was able to create songs with his own lyrics and melody he would probably be in a class by himself. Very charismatic guy, I enjoyed this interview, looking forward to part II.
