Bounty Killer was born Rodney Price in the Kingston ghetto of Trenchtown on June 12, 1972. One of nine children, he spent much of his childhood in another ghetto, Riverton City, which was built on the former city dump; his family later moved to the rough Seaview Gardens area. His father owned a small sound system, and he first tried his hand at DJ chatting when he was only nine years old. At age 14, he nearly fell victim to the gun violence he would later document so thoroughly in his music; while walking home from school, he was hit by a stray bullet from a gun battle between rival political factions. Fortunately, he made a full recovery and soon began performing under the name Bounty Hunter for area sound systems like Metromedia, Bodyguard, and Stereo Two. Meanwhile, he and his friends hung around King Jammy's recording studio, hoping to catch a break. Eventually, he met Jammy's brother Uncle T, who produced his first recordings in 1990.

Ninjaman was born Desmond John Ballentine on January 20, 1966, in Annotto Bay, in the Jamaican province of St. Mary. His family moved to Kingston when he was 11, and he started DJing a year later under the name Double Ugly. Initially performing for the Black Culture sound system, he moved over to the Kilimanjaro organization in the early '80s, and there got the chance to learn from Super Cat and Early B. He changed his name to Uglyman, then Ninjaman when another artist of the same name came forward. Kilimanjaro started its own label, and in 1987 Ninjaman got the chance to make -- and self-produce -- his first single, a duet with Courtney Melody called "Protection." It was a success and led to further hit collaborations under producer Lloyd Dennis in 1988, most notably "Cover Me" with Tinga Stewart and "Zig It Up" with Flourgon.

Elephant Man (aka Energy God) was born O'Neil Bryan in 1974. Overly large ears as a child earned him the nickname "Dumbo Elephant" from his classmates in the Seaview Gardens area of Kingston, Jamaica. Shabba Ranks and Bounty Killer were Seaview residents at the time, and with King Jammy's studio not so far away, Elephant Man had early exposure to dancehall culture. While singing at the gates of Ranks and Jammy's studios, Bounty Killer heard him and suggested forming a group with other Seaview teens. The group was originally called the Seaview Family, but after Bounty Killer had a massive hit with "Big Guns Scare Dem," the name changed to Scare Dem Crew. Scare Dem Crew only released one album but played multiple festivals around Jamaica, giving Elephant Man a chance to refine his on-stage persona. Dancehall night at 1998's Reggae Sumfest was a highlight, with Elephant Man climbing up a television camera crane and delivering his energetic rhymes high above the audience.

Born Leonard Bartley in the parish of Clarendon, Jamaica
Merciless career began in the early 90s with his first song “Len Out Mi Mercy” followed by his billboard-topping album titled Mr Merciless, Numerous hit singles then followed such as Mama Cooking, Gal Gizada, Ole Gallis, Mama Cooking, God Alone and Mavis which garnered international success.

Merciless has recorded Collaborations with Hip Hop artist/Producer Lil' John, Rapper C-Murder, R&B crooner Aaron Hall, Soca Artist Tall Pree and with Reggae artists such as Rita Marley, Lady Saw, George Nooks, Cecile, Yami Bolo, Beenie Man, Elephant Man and his Arch Nemesis Bounty Killer. To maintain his ever-growing fanbase and as reggae continues to evolve and include the fusion of jazz, reggaeton and other musical aspects, so does he. Merciless is at the peak of his career and enjoys being on stage and interacting with his fans. One of the highlights of his career took place at Sting 2000 where he challenged Ninja Man, Beenie Man and Bounty Killa to a lyrical battle and simultaneously defeated the trio.
