Greeting! Welcome to Thugworldwhere the masses rejoice and hail the return of MADLION, the conquering King of Hip Hop Reggae from the tribe Issachar. As the air clears, the mighty roar thats heard round the world is the Sound of Musical Assasian Delivering Lyrical intelligence over nations otherwise known as MADLION. His long-awaited new Killah Pride Records debut album, Predatah or Prey, features a dozen stand-and-deliver musical masterpieces, including Give It to Me featuring Total, Go to War, Thrill of the Hunt, My Way and Bring it if you want it For anyone who thought the time was right to lay claim to the crown, let it be known - the predatah is back and you are the prey! MADLION has been prowling thru the jungles of today musical habitat since the late 80s. Recording with various dancehall reggae labels such as. Super Power Jammys VpRecords, Guasi, Massive B as well as his very own label Spinnas Choice. With over a 100 dancehall releases in his growing catalog, Lion built a reputation as an undeniable underground force to be reckoned with. But it wasnt until he met KRS-ONE in Super Power Records in 1991, would the true premeditated musical vision of MADLION birth. The pair clicked immediately and shortly thereafter, Lion conquered, seized and marked his territory with his now classic, controversial club banger Shoot to Kill. He followed with gold-selling smash Take it Easy a 1994 hit off the Real Ting album released in 95 which spanned other chart toppers, including Own Destiny Double Trouble and Real Ting. The five headbangers reached global proportions. Its no wonder music business royalty bent a path to his door to lay treasures at his feet. Receiving two high profile Source awards, two BillBoard awards and two Vision Awards, including the well-deserved Artist of the Year. MADLIONs sophomore release Ghetto Gold and Platinum Respect 1996 quickly grew beyond the capabilities of his former small indie label Nervous Records, severing ties in 1998. MADLION continued touring, writing and producing other Dancehall Reggae Artists such as Buccaneer, Red Rat, Bounty Killer, Alley Cat, Lox, and Scaredem Crew. Enjoying the spoils of an executive behind the scenes of the music industry in 1999 LION moved to California and created an entertainment company called Platinum Products Ent., a company that hosted, promoted, and coordinated many of the cities biggest reggae functions including LIONs own club LIONS DEN now closed. But music on the front line is MADLIONs mission and ministry and when long time friend KRS-ONE landed an A&R position with Reprise Records/Warner Bros. One of his first signing was MADLIONs label Killah Pride Records for a deal worth millions. Upon completing Predatah or Prey the new debut from MADLION Warner Bros. Dropped the ball due to a big merger with AOL, the resignation of KRS and failing black music department. Since then, MADLION has been busy expanding the boarders of his empire, starting his own multimedia company that host and design websites namely Killah Pride Multimedia a half a block compound that umbrellas Killah Pride Multimedia, Pride Rock Studio (a state of the art recording studio as well as video editing suites). Dalyon Preece clothing line, Snypa Gallery Films. Thats right a one-stop shop for the focus minded artist Its a higher calling this multi-talented artist and visionary has been following his whole life. The originator and pioneer of HipHops Reggae, the man with one of the most unique sounds ever conceived. Once again is taking his pride of creative masterminds on the road, traveling the world to entertain and enlighten. Record in various studios in California as well as MADs own Pride Rock facility, Predatah or Prey finds the Master of HipHop Reggae in top form and right back where he belongs - front and center.
