Young Offenders Institution inmates join rapper MPFree on mixtape
SCOTTISH hip-hop man MPFree has recorded a mixtape in
collaboration with inmates from Her Majesty's Young Offenders
Institution in Polmont where the emcee ministers. The project 'Writers
Block' will be distributed to 16 prisons in Scotland to inspire
inmates with a positive message. Said the emcee, "One of my favourite
tracks on 'Writer's Block' is called 'Like Father, Like Son' and it
features me and a group of the young offenders. I have three young
daughters and fatherhood is a scary thing for me. My Dad wasn't around
when I was young so I was nervous when it came to that time in my
life. Through the Bible I was able to grasp what it means to be a
father. The guys from Polmont are on the track talking about their
experiences of fatherhood, what they've been through, and what they'd
like to be in the end. It's a really powerful song."
