Last Friday's performance by the Warlord, Bounty Killler could easily be argued as his best this year and one of the best we at 876radio.com have seen from him in a long time.
Prior to him hitting the stage there were a few well received performances from the likes of Rootz Undeground, Tarrus Riley amongst others, after a grand introduction by the nights' MC, Paul Ann Porter-Jones the Killer hit the stage in a semi jovial mood and worked a fierce 15 minutes set dedicated strictly to the ladies.
But what would a show be without Bounty and his signature style, telling the band to play him low while he proceeded to talk about his nemesis Beenie Man he said,
"Good night Jamrock, when oonu come a dancehall show oonu know what fi expect, a hear the fish a guh round and a talk a bag a thing, yes oonu nuh know a who me a talk the land fish, yes dem have a talking fish weh walk pon land too..
people oonu nuh memba when oonu likkle and oonu mother use to tell oonu seh when oonu see people drop tings a road oonu nuffi pick it up ...well the fish look like him did hard ears and suh him guh pick it up and seet deh now, she give him the whole a Easter now for him Christmas, beat him up and give him jacket fi wear..dats why me buy my own shirt"
This brought much laughter to a predominantly uptown crowd, before he said "Ok now is bad man time now, I done wid di ladies dem" and proceeded to sing his 2007 anthem 'Nuh Friend Fish". the next fifteen minutes of his thirty minutes set was laden with hits from his early years coming right up the ranks and what was even more impressive he never cursed once during his performance.
He later made a special appearance doing a combination with Damian 'Junior Gong' Marley before being joined on stage by the other members of the Alliance such as Mavado, Bling Dawg, Busy Signal and Elephant Man, who were a part of the surprise package. Serani and Bugle were also in the house but never performed, backing for the Warlord was provided by DASECA/Anger Management band.
Later Stephen and Damian did an electrifying set before closing the show.
