We caught up with music artist and presenter Mr Midas, where he talks about hosting a new music show called ‘Boom TV’.
Not only is award winning dancehall artist Mr Midas currently presenting ‘Boom TV’ exclusively for 4Music and Kiss TV alongside the DJ Goldierocks, and Twin B, but he is set to release his new promo track ‘Try Make Me (Slow Down)’.
His energetic flow with a sweet boy persona and cleverly crafted lyrics ‘Try Make Me’ is a lively feel good party tune which is inspired from Midas’s Jamaican roots. The song encourages you to party and the ladies to in Midas words ‘Whine there waist down’ with a festival style electro mix from Richie Fargas (Kelis, Ellie Goulding) and with a fast paced funky house mix from legendary producer Sticky (Ms Dynamite – Booo!) ‘Try Make Me (Slow Down)’ releases on 1st November and is bound to get the clubs bouncing.
The 26-year-old South Londoner also gives his honest opinions on the latest gossip in the industry, so read on!
