Fans are still pondering whether Reggae legend Bob Marley will be featured on King of Kingston as Bounty had expressed his desire to have the late icon featured on the album.
“If I had one last song to do, that’s the song I would want to do. Jr. Gong producing the album and I asked him, and I don’t know how Chris Blackwell [Island Records Founder] gonna go about that, but that’s a collaboration I dream of,” he had told Entertainment Report’s Anthony Miller a few months ago.
With Bob’s youngest son Damian Marley being the executive producer of the album, getting Blackwell to give the go-ahead, should not be an arduous task.
Bounty’s post attracted a series of comments, including from fans who said they were waiting with bated breath for the release date. “Killa jus be like f-ck it me a go jus drop nearly 2 decade worth a music 🤣🔥🔥 I love it,” harry.selah said.
“@grunggaadzilla Even IF its stop here we totally fine..longing for the album,” standfirm5said.

Another fan lexx_149, dubbed King of Kingston “a full solid double CD album”.
“As a @grunggaadzilla fan I have been waiting on a new bounty killa album for the longest… wise words, when the time is right,” he said while nickskee6 noted: “This is not a album it’s a anthology of Rodney …”
Some said that the caliber of the collaborators alone makes the album worthy of a Grammy nomination. “January 2023, this will be a Grammy Award winning project!!” mrjahbee said.
“@grunggaadzilla this is not a album ..it’s a whole catalogue family …let’s start 2022 with this congrats now let’s see if the Grammys a sleep now,” rave_bossja stated.
Bounty also made a second Instagram post of himself vibing to another track from the album and declared that it was going to be another masterpiece.
“Murder Plan Murderment the furtherment… MURDA PLACE a murder in town…KING Of Kingston Al-bomb forwarding Soon Soon Soon… It Will Worth The Wait,” he noted.
