Born Gary Reed at a younger age Mastamind attended Osborn High School in Detroit, Michigan where Esham (another acid rap artist and creator of the genre). Esham formed a acid rap group along with fellow members Mastamind and TNT called Natas. The group released their first cd in 1992 entitled Life After Death on Esham's label, Reel Life Productions. Two Years later in 1994 the group Natas released their 2nd cd Blaz4me. A year later in 1995 Mastamind dropped a short ep, Lickkuiddrano, and later in 2000 he dropped his first full length album entitled The Mindzi, both off Reel Life Productions label. Between the release of his first EP and first LP the group Natas had released many more albums starting with Doubelievengod in 1995 which was hailed as one of the groups best and darkest albums. In 1997 Natas released Multikillionaire: The Devil's Contract and WicketWorldWide.COM in 1999 another album that is argued as their greatest album. In 2002 Natas released their last album as a full group Godlike.

Separation From RLP

The same year Natas released another cd this time with just Esham and TNT, because of some problems between Esham and Mastamind, called N of tha World.

Return To RLP

While working with his new label Mastamind announced a Re-release of his first ep Lickkuidrano might be happening this time in the form of a LP with more songs, last noted the cd is complete and is out of Mastamind's hands when it will be released. The first album to drop off of Toxsic records in late 2009 was Mastamind's EP KhemicalSpill it was first released digital download as an EP and later released as a full album in pressed form early 2010. In Mid/Late 2010 Mastamind formed a group with Poe Whosaine, another artist from Detroit known in the acid rap genre. The group was called Rokgod, they released their first cd as a mixtape double album to get it to the fans faster the albums where entitled Mortifikation.
