Rodney"Bounty Killer" Price's first break was when musical peers and friends Nitty Kutchie and
BoomDandimite introduced him to UncleT, a producer at the legendary King
Jammy's studio in Waterhouse. After recording a few songs for Uncle T,
Bounty Killer was inducted into the King Jammy's recording family and
joined the superstar deejay roster which includes Shabba Ranks, Admiral
Bailey, and Chaka Demus. There Bounty recorded his first big tune in
1992, "Coppershot," whose lyrics were inspired by his being shot in a
cross-fire at the age of 12 during a spat of political violence which plagued the
community. After "Coppershot" took off not only in Jamaica but also in
the US, the UK and Canada, every dancehall fan knew the name Bounty Killer.
Bounty followed up that hit with "New Gun", "Gal say yes", and "Spy fi
die." With this success under his belt Bounty Killer headlined "Sting"
the fiercest battleground to test an artist. This show became internationally
famous when the show ended with a clash between Bounty and his nemesis,
Beenie Man. During his tenure at Jammy's, Bounty recorded three albums
Roots, Reality & Culture(1992), Down In The Ghetto (1994) and Face To
Face (1995). Singles like "Cellular Phone" "Down In The Ghetto" and "Miss
Ivy's Last Son" topped reggae charts in the US, England and Japan. This
album contains all these hits and more. Bounty Killer is currently the
most favored Reggae artist in the hip-hop community. It has became clear
that Bounty's audience has far surpassed the confines of the Caribbean
and its expatriates.
