Hello yello!!! Today is the 41st birthday of one Rodney Price—Bounty Killer. But the Warlord/5-Star General isn’t sailing off into middle age quietly. His latest movement sees him team once again with dancehall dude-of-the-moment (and this year’s Reggae Sumfest Dancehall Night headliner) I-Octane on a new riddim from Markus Records.

BULLET BULLET! Some straight badness here from international bad boy squad Jamtech Foundation, or simply Jamtech. This Swedish / UK / US team has been unleashing dancehall and bashment flavored remixes for a minute now, and somewhat under the radar.

If you know your smokers’ anthems, you know Carlton Livingston. The St. Mary-born, Kingston-raised singer is responsible for one of reggae’s biggest weed tunes ever, “100 Weight of Collie Weed.” And he’s got more where that came from: his “Trodding Through the Jungle” made an appearance on our Toppa Top 10 Slept-On Weed Anthems for 4/20 last year, too. After catching up with Carlton at last month’s Rice and Peas party, we brought him over to the The Kennel Recording Studio in Brooklyn to count down our Toppa Top 20 Weed Anthems for 4/20.

New York’s DJ Prince recently caught our attention with Test My Sound, an upcoming, reggae-themed hip-hop album that taps into the underground rap selector/producer/MC’s West Indian roots. Read Prince’s reminiscence on one of his favorite hip-hop x reggae crossover joints, Bounty Killer’s “Hip-Hopera” (featuring The Fugees) below, and look out for Test My Sound, premiering on LargeUp soon.

RepJa, the dancehall-minded fashion label, never disappoints us with it’s bashy designs and on-trend cultural references. Their new “Cross/Hangry/Miserable” tee is no exception. The shirt, which comes in black and has a simple streamlined design, references the phrase made popular by Bounty Killer, with the words “Hangry Miserable” (there’s an ‘H’ in “Angry” when we’re talking Bounty) written in a white cross. RepJa has made an accompanying promotional video and the simple visuals match the clear message of the shirt. Check out the video and some pictures of the shirt below and support RepJa!
