Bounty Killer “Raise Hell on Hellboy”
The year is 2009 and The dancehall world has been divided along two
lines, “Gully” and “Gaza”, led by Mavado and Vybz Kartel respectively.
The two have been “throwing words at each other (trading insults) for
almost two years now on records and at stage shows. As Kartel has
split from his mentor Bounty Killer’s side he draws his musical father
into the argument by taking pot shots at him while dissing his arch
nemesis, Mavado. As the mentor of both artists, Killer holds his
tongue and lets them battle it out – for a while. But the tongue of
Dancehall’s ‘War Lord’ supreme cannot be held for long when he is
under attack. Even a saint’s patience would snap under the amount of
vitriole that is directed at him and snap he does! With the force of
a Tsunami, the result is the EP ‘Raising Hell On Hell Boy’. If you’re
looking for happy clappy Sean Paul jaunt into radio friendly
dancehall, this ain’t it! If you’re looking for sanitised made for TV
political correctness, you’d better press next! This is the real deal
- complete unadulterated-pure-undiluted-raw-to-the-core venomous
vicious Jackie Chan type blows kicks and chops with one one goal in
mind – annihilation of the enemy. It’s a cliché but this one is
definitely not one for the faint-hearted. When the Killer is “Cross,
Angry & ‘Mi-his-erable” like this, there is no space for prisoners.
