In 2002 when Cordel “Scatta” Burrell debuted the Martial Arts riddim, long-time arch rivals Bounty Killer and Beenie Man went at each other lyrically - Beenie Man with two songs and Bounty Killer with one song - on the riddim.
Now in 2008, Skatta has released the Self Defence riddim (a re-lick of the Martial Arts) and two of the “now” generation of dancehall warriors have come out swinging with hard-hitting songs against each other on this new Self Defence riddim.
So far, Mavado has fired off one song, while Vybz Kartel has fired off two on the riddim. Both artistes were previously “at war” with each other well over a year ago, but things were cooled and a truce called in late February 2007. An uneasy peace has lasted since then, one that has clearly been broken with this new round of songs.
