Back In The Days With Bounty Killer

Bountykiller_yardflex.jpgOne of nine children, Rodney's destiny would be irrevocably shaped by the landscapes of inner-city Kingston, where tribalism and poverty battle for the morals of the hungry and the desperate.

Leaving Trenchtown soon after, Miss Ivy relocates her family to Riverton City, a community founded on the Kingston City dump. Once known as 'Dungle,' the sprawling rubbish heap is a vital resource to many of its inhabitants.

Clothed just by 'tear-up-batty' pants, Rodney would sneak out late at night to hear the music thundering from speaker boxes strung up in the community.

Belonging to the sound system owned by his Father, affectionately known as Breezer.

"I used to just grab the mic and vibe up the place with my arguments and slangs!" remembers Bounty of the beginning. "I never had any lyrics of my own. Once I went to take the microphone at a talent show in Riverton. I intended to DJ, but I just opened my mouth and began to sing Junior Reid's 'Woman Make Your Waistline Roll!' Even though it didn't work out how I planned it, the crowd were hyped by it so I decided to build my own lyrics."

Your song on the 'Cooley Dance' riddim is 'terrible' and mi love the gal tunes. If you have decided not to voice any more badman tunes on everyday riddims for the radio. Can we sill expect the 'Warlord' to be ever present in the Sound Clash arena, with even badder anthems than before?
Bounty_Killa (Jun 10, 2003 7:29:06 PM)
Exactly. It 's still warlord and it's always and ever be, but it is just the lord for the ladies this moment. Gal over Gun.

Greetings Bounty. I reckon this is the first time you will know you have fans in Nigeria. West Africa. WHEN ARE YOU COMING TO WEST AFRICA? NIGERIA or GHANA. I AM ASKING ON BEHALF OF THE FANS.
Bounty_Killa (Jun 10, 2003 7:33:01 PM)
No, I know I have fans there long time ago. It is the production and the promoters to get their papers together, because everyone in my camp is exited. Want to touch base with the motherland.

BOUNTY ........This Sunday is Father's Day, any words of encouragement to our young Jamaican fathers?
Bounty_Killa (Jun 10, 2003 7:35:53 PM)
Yes, most definitely. One has to stand their responsibility as only a true man can be a father. I am planning to do a father song because everyone is doing a song about mama. And it is fifty fifty make a child, not twenty five seventy five. But because so many bad fathers are in JA it leaves a bitter taste. Because most people in the music industry can't recall too much great times with their fathers. So you get less songs dedicated to fathers.

Question (Jun 10, 2003 7:38:06 PM)
HOW COME U NOT SO POPULAR AS SEAN PAUL IN THE U.S NOW?
Bounty_Killa (Jun 10, 2003 7:38:06 PM)
Because I speak Jamaican culture and that is less familiar but I like it like that. It makes me exceptionally different among the Americans. It is much harder to market a different culture in a different country. I am not just singing Jamaican music, I am singing the culture and the music and I sing mostly patois. I don't make music that is suitable for the American market, I make music for Jamaicans and it end up suiting the American market even though it was not suited for the Americans.

Question (Jun 10, 2003 7:38:36 PM)
