词条 | Merciless (DJ) |
释义 |
BiographyMerciless first found success performing with sound systems.[2] He made his recording début in 1994 with "Lend Out Mi Mercy", which was a hit in Jamaica and elsewhere, and a string of further hits followed, including "Mavis", which was the top reggae single in Jamaica in 1995 and used the same riddim as Shaggy's "Mr. Boombastic".[2] Like several other dancehall stars, he adopted 'conscious' lyrical content in the late 1990s.[2] He is similar in sound to fellow artist Bounty Killer.[1][2] In the late 2000s he was imprisoned in Florida for fourteen months.[1] He is also known by the nickname "Warhead", and engaged in several high-profile on-stage 'battles' in the late 1990s and 2000s with fellow deejays Beenie Man, Ninjaman, and Bounty Killer.[3] His rivalry with Bounty Killer did not prevent the two from recording together, with "No One Cares" released in 2000.[4] Discography
