The smoke is eventually getting clear as the dancehall general Mr. Rodney Basil Price better known to his fans as Bounty Killer has finally decided to responded to Gullyside DeeJay who has aimed several subliminal disses at him since they parted ways in 2010.
Bounty hasn’t confirmed on his new song called Death Work surfaced on YouTube in which Bounty Killer unleashes his fury on Mavado and his Gullyside camp.
Dancehall enthusiasts had long expected a lyrical battle to start between the artistes, especially since Mavado’s fellow Gullyside artiste Chase Cross had released a diss song aimed at Bounty Killer in 2011.
Mavado’s singles, Dem A Try Style Man and Pon Di Gully are both labelled as Bounty Killer disses on YouTube. Notably in Pon Di Gully, Mavado sings “Inna di dancehall a just me alone, di people nuh wah see nuh next gad”. This is a line which Bounty Killer sees as a subliminal diss and went on to respond to the artiste by deejaying, “A one general inna music bout bex bad, and dem nuh wah see a next gad? Tell madden send him best bag,” along with a string of expletives.
