make music endorse it and the thing just work.” Indeed, “Real McKoy”--Mavado’s 2004 debut single on the Anger Management riddim—made him an overnight sensation in the Jamaican dancehall and established the blueprint for his future success; a sweetly melodic voice combined with a persona more like a gangsta rapper. Dressed in “full black” and speaking to the harsh reality ghetto youth could understand, but in haunting, otherworldly tones, Mavado carved out a inimitable style somewhere between the angel and the warlord. It was the next tune “Weh Dem a Do” with it’s “fly-ay ay up to the sky” hook over the club-tempo Red Bull & Guinness riddim that brought that voice to the overseas market, and earned him magazine covers like The Fader as well as adds to mainstream stations like New York’s Hot 97 and the 27 position on the Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip Hop Chart.

The string of successful 45s continued with “Dreamin” but although Mavado’s star rose in synch with his crew the Alliance, including fellow Bounty Killer protégés Daseca and Busy Signal, success did not come without some turbulence. Dramas were played out in the media eye, such as the murder of his Rastafarian father in Switzerland and an incident wherein Mavado was pushed through a plate glass window at the Constant Spring police station, almost losing several fingers on his left hand.
