What would you do if

Sean Paul

was down to record your voicemail greeting message in his smooth stream of tongue-rolling patois? This particular scenario happened while we were on set with the long-standing king of dancehall. Someone who has been around since bucket hats were a thing the

first

time around, and has created songs that get stuck in our heads with every name in music worth knowing (we’ll spare the encyclopedia and only mention a few: Beyoncé, 2Chainz,

Eve

, Dua Lipa, Wiley, Idris Elba). His latest song with Cov-alum

J Balvin

(it’s stuck in this here writer’s head) is what brought us to the Mondrian rooftop for a speed round of Qs to get to know him a little bit better. Watch now!
