Bounty Killer wasn't his usual cross, angry and miserable self last Sunday. Instead, 'The Warlord' was in a more jubilant mood as he celebrated his birthday at his It's Tha Pool Party, staged at Norbury Drive, St Andrew.

The Killer's mood was indicative of someone who was 'rich and happy' as he partied with his friends and fans.

The women came out in their numbers and most were sexily clad in bikinis that left little to the imagination. The 'thugs' were also out, and the 'high rollers' ensured that the Hennessey flowed freely from the bar.

Unidealistic venue

While the party was good, the venue probably was not ideal as the focus of the partying and frolicking was on an elevated pool deck slated for VIP and sexy girls only. At times, especially in the earlier part of the party, it was as if those persons on the lawn area below the VIP area were isolated. It was as if the party vibes was not transcending the boundaries of the VIP area.

This changed immediately when Tony Matterhorn took over selecting duties about 11:56 p.m. "Mi ago start wid a Bounty tune because a fi him birthday," Matterhorn said as the patrons roared when Bounty's voice emitted from the speakers deejaying Gal.

Strickly for the ladies

Matterhorn mixed strictly for the ladies dropping hits such as Bounty Killer's Gal Dem a Ride Mi Nature and Beenie Man's Back It Up and Wine Gal. The tempo was turned up a notch as Matterhorn asked the girls to Siddung Pon It before Busy placed them Pon Di Edge and Kartel instructed them to Tick Tock.

Prior to Matterhorn, Colin Hines dropped some pulsating mixing that nurtured the vibes already created by Stone Love. At this time, the pool seemed irresistible for some of the female patrons who yielded to the temptation and jumped in.

It was a night of 'flossing' and one of the best ways to do this seemed to be to play the role in terms attire and liquor consumption.

However, the selectors did it in their own way. Flippa Mafia's Dem Yah was one of their favourite selections as was 50 Cent's I Get Money, Vybz Kartel's Trailor Load a Money and Mavado's Money Changer.

Dancehall newcomer Konshens also received some love from the patrons who roared for Winner after it was 'rinsed' several times by the various selectors.

Alliance in support

The Alliance members were out to support their 'leader' and THE STAR team spotted Mavado, Bling Dawg, Wayne Marshall, Elephant Man, among others at the party. Also there to show their support were Assassin, Serani, Shane-O and several other entertainers. TV host Milk turned heads, and Chi Ching Ching looked dapper in his all-white attire.

When THE STAR team left the venue at 12:30 a.m. The Killer still hadn't cut his cakes, several patrons were still enjoying the water slide and Tony Matterhorn was still performing. The vibes had become stagnant and several police were lurking about the venue.
