Who was this Merciless ?

Bartley, born on July 1, 1971, shot to prominence in the dancehall scene in 1994. His first single, “Len Out Mi Mercy,” was released in the 1990s, followed by Mr. Merciless’s album. He went on to have a successful career.

In addition, he released several other singles, such as “Mama Cooking,” “Gala Gizada,” “Ole Gallis,” “God Alone,” and “Mavis,” all of which contributed to his rise to fame. After that, he collaborated on recordings with artists such as Lil John, C-Murder, Aaron Hall, Tall Pree, Rita Marley, and Yami Bolo.

During Sting 2000, he engaged Ninjaman, Beenie Man, and Bounty Killa in a lyrical fight, which he ultimately won by besting the three competitors. The battle occurred at the Jam world Entertainment Complex in Portmore, St. Catherine, and it is still considered one of the most famous confrontations in the annals of dancehall history.

Bartley was a musician who influenced many other artists, including Shabba Ranks, Dennis Brown, Super Cat, and Bob Marley, among others.

When Bartley was asked about the possibility of putting out a new album with 12 tracks, he told the tabloid The Star that he was simultaneously putting on a mixtape of dancehall music and an album collection of 10 tracks of gospel music. In June of 2021, he announced that he would soon be releasing an album titled Warhead Is Back.
