Bounty Killer Endorses Up-And-Coming Dancehall Deejay Bad Gyal Jade On Instagram
Dancehall legend Bounty Killer just slapped his badge of approval on up-and-coming dancehall deejay Mickala Williams better known as Bad Gyal Jade (@badgyaljadeofficial) on Instagram recently. He reposted a video of the deejay in studio decimating the Don’t Rush riddim with her wicked freestyle rhymes.
Jade was spitting the lyrics to her single Freestyle Pro where she reveres the Warlord along with a few other dancehall old timers, Ninjaman, Beenie Man, Buju Banton and her idol the Worl’ Boss, Vybz Kartel. The official audio was released on her YouTube page 4 days ago on April 29th.
In his caption, Killer (@grunggaadzilla) said, “I’ve been tagged in this over 30 times mi affi repost plus she bad nuh bumbo voice wicked way up also she rate elders mi like her.” The rising star deejay seems to be a favorite among the veterans in dancehall; Frisco Kid also posted a few videos of Jade miming another of her songs Make Up Sex on his Instagram page earlier this year, captioning the video, “Bad gal jade at it again up and running.”
Jade has been steadily releasing music for almost a year now; she calls herself the female Kartel, projecting a similar persona to her idol. She has a hard-core sound and style of deejaying though some of her songs are also slower paced and less explicit.
The Five Star General may have just morphed Bad Gyal Jade’s career to new heights with the mention on his IG page. Bounty is notorious for being a huge supporter of new talent in the industry. Forming The Alliance back in 2003, he has helped to launch the careers of some of dancehall greats such as Elephant Man, Mavado, Aidonia, Busy Signal, KipRich as well as Vybz Kartel to name a few.
Just yesterday in support of Dexta Daps, he posted the good news of his release from lock-up, citing that there were no formal charges laid against the deejay.
The 47-year-old veteran is highly passionate about the Reggae and dancehall genre moving forward and goes through great lengths to nurture the younger generation. Last month he used his social media to platform the success of the Grammy Award winning spark plug Koffee, also expressing his love and admiration for the young talents of today.
He posted a photo of himself and Koffee and captioned it, “koffee no tea please the real Grammy Kid congratulations again little sister with pure motivation for this young generation I love it young folks this is what u do during ur youthfulness seek goals and make priorities thee priority salute to our smart and sensible youths.”
Bad Gyal Jade can thank her lucky stars for the big up from Miss Ivy’s Last Son, let’s see if things start to pick up for the young deejay after this added exposure. In the meantime, check out her sizzling deejaying skills as she drops a few verses from her single Freestyle Pro below –
