Bounty's U.S. debut comes fully loaded with piercing ghetto-reality chants--many of them remixes of Jamaican hits and some featuring American hip-hop artists like Busta Rhymes, Lauryn Hill, and Jeru Da Damaja. Bounty refused the Jamaican Labour Party's craven request to adopt the lead track, "Fed Up," as its campaign song. Instead, the cut became an anthem for Jamaicans' frustration with the litany of empty promises made by both of the country's parties. But beyond politics Bounty is a master of life's various facets, including guns, girls, ganja, and religion. "Benz & the Bimma" works the automobile-female chassis simile much too cleverly to cause anyone offense. Other track titles--"Guns & Roses," "The Lord Is My Light and Salvation," "Mama," "War Face," "Mi Nature," and "Suicide or Murder"--suggest that Bounty's "xperience" is broad indeed. --Elena Oumano
