As 2012 kicks into full gear, we conduct our first interview of the year with Nassau’s finest/rapper–El Padrino, who by-the-way just released his smash new video for the track–”Duffels” (if you haven’t already seen it, it’s a must watch). Padrino passes thru the studios of Island FM to speak to MzPapz on everything from his 2-year absence to his failed video for–”Worries In The Dance“to his current status with White House, Daddi Whites  and so much more.

MzPapz: Most of us counted you out of the game, you disappeared, didn’t say anything you just left.
EP: I ain’t the typical person (ya know) who would do music down here having parties all the time. I think self promotion is the best type of promotion and my music kinda spoke for itself.
.
MzPapz: You bust thru the door with “Duffels” and like some media outlets have said “rocked the Bahamas”, please enlighten us on the new video and respond to the bias the video will inevitably get.
EP: I guarantee this, Bahamian’s have been spending drug money for years, you understand what I’m saying. We started smuggling in the 1920′s, ya understand when it came to bootlegging. “Duffels” came about when I was back in the studio heavily after taking a break for a while and we pretty much showing what the Bahamas…where we really came from. I don’t care what any politician has to say about what it looks like, what it portrays, it is what it is. If you go on any site right now, The Bahamas is still on the Top 7 list of drug trafficking on this planet. So I just kinda exposing what it really is, it’s not sun, sand and sea, straw market and all of this. Yeah we have a real country and it ain’t just all good. You have to take the good with the bad.
