It's quite apparent after you go through the first half of Bounty Killer's NEXT MILENNIUM what his intentions are. With guest artists like Killah Priest, Noreaga, Cocoa Brovaz, Junior Reid and Ritchie Stevens (to name a few), it's clear Bounty is trying to walk that fine line between rap and reggae by appealing to audiences of both art forms...or making a concerted effort to further solidify the kinship that these two styles share. Either way, the formula works very well, and Bounty shows that walking that fine line is not always harmful to an artist, as long as he knows how to deliver what the people want.

Rodney Price) spent time in dancehalls as a child, where his father ran a popular reggae sound system. Inevitably, Bounty Killer became an MC himself, recording his first songs (under the name "Bounty Hunter") in the mid 1990s with influential dancehall producer King Jammy. Influenced by American hip-hop as much as reggae, his "ragga" style is streetwise and aggressive, with lyrics about guns, more guns, political corruption, and his war with the police and other MCs (Beenie Man being his biggest rival). Throughout the '90s and 2000s, Bounty Killer has hit the mainstream as a guest singer on tracks by artists such as No Doubt, the Fugees, and Mobb Deep, and continues to tour and record prolifically.
