OLDIES SUNDAY: Merciless – Mavis (1995)

Posted on by swadedavillain

On July 19, Dancehall lost a lyrical legend who went by the name, “Merciless“. Born Leonard Bartley, Merciless was known to take over the scene with a barrage a lyrics that will thrill the listener, and let other Artists know that he’s ready for anything. Nicknamed “Warhead” and calls himself the “Warring don from Clarendon“, Merciless had a few hits over the years in addition to his wins as a lyrical contender. For today’s Oldies Sunday selection, we highlight one his hits, “Mavis“.

Produced by Robert Livingston and Shaun ‘Sting International’ Pizzonia, “Mavis” was released through Big Yard Production in 1995. On the track, Merciless is all about the ladies here as he shares that he has what it takes to make them come back for more. He spoke about the various ladies who come his way, and warns that if the Man cannot fulfill a Woman’s request of satisfaction, she will go elsewhere. “Mavis” was featured on the “Boombastic Riddim“, and Merciless name dropped Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes, and Chuck Norris, sharing that the ladies don’t need the “tough guy“, but rather a Man who can “Wuk har good“.

“Mavis” became a hit for Merciless, and opened the door for a career that found him scoring a few more, and providing him a lane that made him a formidable opponent in Dancehall clashes. The one night Dancehall event Sting would find Merciless in attendance yearly to add notches to his belt. His most famous Sting was in 2000 when he went up against Bounty Killa, Beenie Man, and Ninja Man, becoming the victor in the end. Merciless solidified his space in Dancehall, and he will be missed by fans, family, and members of the music fraternity.

Thank You Merciless For This Classic! Walk Good.

Bounty Killa & Prado Run Things On “As A Badman”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

The legendary Bounty Killa continues to uphold his role as a Dancehall Giant, even at 50 years old. Still influencing and providing a voice as an elder, it’s hard to find an Artist who isn’t seen as one of his kids, or grandkids. Come this Saturday (July 23), he will take the stage at one of Jamaica’s greatest musical events, Reggae Sumfest. Before that however, he needed to make a statement in the video for “As A Badman“.

On the Prado assisted single, Bounty Killa lists out the bullet points for what it takes to assume the role of a “Badman“, and calls out those who violate certain guidelines. Prado gives his points as well, and the duo make a great tune over a production that’s fit for a Gangsta. The accompanying Tinman (Swag TV Filmz) directed music video, we see a story play out of a badman who causes trouble in the community, but in the end gets a dose of his own medicine. ZJ Rush, Shane O, Predator, and Chronic Law make cameo appearances in the video, with the later playing a key role throughout.

Bounty Killa is also working on his upcoming “King Of Kingston” album that has well anticipated since its announcement a couple years ago. While the tracklist has gone through a few changes, Bounty is taking his time with what could be called his best body of work. If you’re in Catherine Hall, Montego Bay, be sure to catch Bounty at Reggae Sumfest!
