Elephant Man’s son Jenuin Praises Bounty Killer
Kingston, Jamaica – One of dancehall most celebrated artiste Bounty Killer is being praised for his loyalty and it could not have come from a better person than Jeniun (formerly Eli-Trunk) the son of Elephant Man.
Jenuin, has vowed to use the experiences of Bounty Killer’s loyalty as a driving force in his music career.
The Seaview Gardens artist’s recent “Cah Be loyal,” a collaboration with artistes, Geppi Don, Hot Vybes and Lyan Turbo says, Bounty Killer’s inspiration will always be remembered.
The song, produced by Richcode Music was released March 24, 2024.
“For me, Bounty Killer is a driving and a thriving force in whatever I do in my music career. One of my latest projects “Cah Be Loyal” has much to do with Bounty’s loyalty.
“When I think how much people are disloyal compared to Bounty, I have to emphasize how even family members are disloyal.
“Bounty Killer is not only true to Jenuin, but hundreds out there who have benefited from his loyalty, one way or another.
“I grew up in Seaview Gardens hearing so much about Bounty who was like an extended family member. He ( Bounty) was connected to my father, as he was part of the Scare Dem Crew at one time.
“Bounty was quick to listen to my songs and as he listened his advice was that I sing from the depths of my diaphragm so that my vocals are powerful and sustained.
“He was never too busy to give a listening ear. His lessons have helped to make me more versatile and confident in music.”
Jenuin praised Bounty Killer for giving back to his Seaview Gardens community, and outside institutions, like hospitals.
“He complimented his “Book Book Book” hit song and his charitable deeds donating a number of computers to Seaview Gardens Primary School.
Jenuin, born Ashanti Bryan, recorded his first song “Loving You” when he was nine years old.
“This was about a girl I met at Pleasant Valley Primary School. She was such a pleasant and sweet darling. Our friendship lasted throughout our childhood days.”
Since then he has recorded over 20 songs. “I started my career as Ele-Trunk recording songs like ‘Tired’, “Sweat” and ‘Defence’.”
“This name stayed with me until i was age 23, when I became Jeniun and recorded about 10 songs. These include my very special ‘Angel Giving Birth’, ‘One Day’, ‘Sketch’ and ‘Guide My Steps’.”
He is now working on a dancing song titled “Wap” expected to be out by summer 2024.
