RAWW DEAL THE REAL DEAL
Omar Morrison aka. Raww Deal was born in Jones Town, Kingston and grew up in the humble community of Gordon Town with his grandmother. At the age of nine the DJ found interest in dancehall music which led him to sneaking out at times to listen sound systems playing in his neighborhood.
At Papine High School Raww Deal would take advantage of any opportunity to showcase his talent and while still in school he recorded his first gig "Herbalist" for Gore Productions in 1999.
This was a disappointment for him as the producer did not release his first effort. He constantly did talent shows and performed well, this boosted his self-esteem as he was well received by the audiences.
Having gotten back the desire to record again, Raww Deal in late 2002 recorded "Canon" which was featured on Code Red's 'Smoked Out Vol.3'.
In this same year after performing on a show in Standpipe Kingston 6, he met Akiliboy of BYG Family Musik Kingston 6 Rekords who saw his talent and immediately recorded "Let Me In" on the Blue Chip Riddim. Released in 2003 this single got some amount of air play and was featured on a number of mixed tapes across the globe.
Recently Raww Deal has written and recorded "Swing Over" and "Real Armageddon" on the Easy Rock Riddim for Kingston 6 Rekords. He promises to bring positive vibes to reggae music as he sends out his message in each song.
