Bushman (real name Dwight Duncan) hails from Prospect Beach in the country parish
of St. Thomas. He was discovered by the internationally-renowned duo Steely & Clevie.
They recorded "Grow your natty", soon followed by "Call the hearse" using the
popular Skettel riddim, which became a hit in Jamaica. After that they started recording the
songs for his debut set "Nyah Man Chant". The album lays heavily on the conscious tip of reggae music.
Several tracks speak out against the senseless violence that costs so many lives. "Remember the days"
is a strong track featuring "The Friends" : Don Yute, Daddy Screw, Sharon Forrester, Skatta. Size 11,
Delly Ranks & Benjy Myaz. The herb anthem "Cannabis" uses the General riddim, while "Man a lion"
could become a firm roots & culture classic! The 11 year old Politician riddim gets a nineties treat in
"Grow your natty", telling the people to grow dreadlocks. "Reggae music a tek back its full an' proper
course now" says Bushman, and we fully agree with him. A wicked contemporary 'reality' album, strongly recommended!
