| BEENIE MAN - BACK IT UP 4 min 17 sec www.youtube.com |
Beenie Man was involved in the music industry from a young age when he, like former popular Reggae Dancehall artist Yellowman, won the Tastee Talent contest during the 1980s in Jamaica. Only one year later (1981), when he was eight years old, he recorded a single, "Too Fancy", with record producer "junjo" Lawes. By 1983, Beenie Man was recording with influential DJs, such as Dillinger and Fathead and released his debut album, The Invincible Beenie Man: The Ten Year Old DJ Wonder and the single "Over the Sea". After such a prodigious start the artist's career lost momentum in the middle of the eighties decade. Beenie Man continued performing and honed his craft beside the then dominant dancehall figures including Ninjaman, Admiral Bailey and Shabba Ranks. He found his artistic home at the Shocking Vibes studio where he continued to record singles with only moderate success towards the end of the decade.

NINJA MAN
Ninjaman, alias Don Gorgon, (born Desmond John Ballentine on january 20, 2006 in Annoto bay, Jamaica) is a popular dancehall DJ, known for his controversial and pro-gun lyrics and his stuttering and melodramatic style.
After moving from his birthplace Annotto Bay to Kingston at the age of 11, he launched his deejay career with the Black Culture Sound System at age 12 as "Double Ugly". In 1980, he joined Killamanjaro, there got the chance to learn from established deejays Super Cat and Early B, and released his debut single as "Uglyman". Yet another name change made him the now well known Ninjaman. In 1987, Ninjaman recorded - and produced himself - his first hit single "Protection", a duet with Courtney Melody.
