How did your collaboration with Hip Hop Icon Fatman Scoop come about?
PanamaDaPrince: While in the process of making “Mase Flow”, I always knew that I wanted Scoop’s legendary voice on the record. He and I developed a relationship while chatting on IG live and I eventually ran the idea by him. My friend Jonny Fastlane who works with Scoop also cosigned the concept and Scoop loved it. He’s a real genuine guy, and. I’m glad that it all worked out.
Please tell us about your latest projects and what you have coming up?
PanamaDaPrince: I’m currently working on a new album that I plan on dropping in 2022, as well as a live project that was recorded during one of my shows that will be coming out as well. New designs from my streetwear brand ALPHA will be released in conjunction with the project.
What inspires your music creatively?
PanamaDaPrince: Personal life experiences along with my interactions with people in social settings are what typically inspires my music. I love making music about things that I’ve been through, but I also know what vibe people like since I’m at parties a lot. So there needs to be a healthy balance of catering to what the people want and having relatability in your music.
In what ways do you feel you make a difference in the world with your artistry?
PanamaDaPrince: On the surface, it would seem that a lot of my music is based around bravado. In all reality, it stems from confidence and belief in one’s self. That’s the energy that I’m putting out and would like for people to adapt. So I’d say making people feel more sure about themselves definitely makes a positive difference in the world.
