Raise Hell on Hellboy

By BDabo
The year is 2009 and The dancehall world has been divided along two lines, “The Gully” and “Gaza Strip”, 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 musical father of both artists, Killer holds his tongue and lets his sons 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 Bwoy’. If you’re looking for a happy-clappy Sean Paul sized 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. By Kennedy Mensah
