At the end of 2019, Jamaican reggae singer Talmigila began working on a single, which eventually became a six-track EP titled “Master Mind.” The project was completed and officially released on June 1st, 2020, via Talmigila‘s own Banjo Simmonds Music label.
The entire EP is all about highlighting and questioning the “Master Mind” behind the current state of the world; while also sending a “Rasta Message” that encourages everyone to “Wake Up“! Producers and engineers that played a role in bringing this project to light are: Benjamin Jackson (bass player and lead guitarist), Peter Williams aka Peter Pan or Sprangy (keyboard), Lalumba – who is featured on one of the track – and Adrian from Supreme Studio in Miami, Florida. All harmonies were done by Twiggie.

Following in his father’s footsteps, Kashief Lindo, who is an artist, musician and producer, has committed to giving listeners nothing but high quality, authentic reggae music.
Earlier this year he shared a six-track (6) EP, titled “Justice – A Conscious Journey.” The project is a collection of well produced reggae songs that address racial injustice as seen from his vantage point. It features songs like “Just Another Question,” which talks about the importance of protecting our children; and “How Long,” which literally questions how long white supremacists will continue in their terror of hatred.
The EP, which is produced by Willie Lindo, is on the family’s own Heavybeat Records label.
