Bounty Killer has invited fans to suggest artists for his upcoming Reggae Sumfest tribute in July 2024, excluding Vybz Kartel and Mavado.
The call follows Reggae Sumfest’s announcement of honoring him, similar to tributes given to Dancehall producers Dave Kelly and King Jammys in 2022 and 2023.
Bounty emphasized that circumstances prevent Kartel and Mavado’s inclusion.
He posted, “I do had an idea of who I wanted to be a part of my tribute but which of my protégé associates affiliates or allegiances y’all think should be a part of it and please don’t say Kartel or Vado bcuz situations and circumstances beyond their control but we all know that they both would’ve to be a part of it salute 🫡.”
The post sparked suggestions for artists, notably former Alliance members like Busy Signal and Wayne Marshall. Bounty, a Dancehall patriarch, previously addressed calls for the Order of Distinction, asserting his OG status and downplaying the honor’s significance.
Bounty’s contribution to dancehall spans several generations having endorsed artist like Vybz Kartel, Mavado, Wayne Marshall, DJ Khaled early their careers.
