After recording an album for producer Bunny Lee a couple of years later, Beenie Man then spent much of his teens appearing with various sound systems, most often with Black Star. By the late 1980s he'd reemerged with a series of dancehall singles, although it wasn't until 1994 that he reached the top of the charts again with “No Mama No Cry”, an anti-gun response to the popular ragga tough-talk. An on-record rivalry with fellow deejay Bounty Killer helped boost both men's popularity, and Beenie's massive 1995 hit “Slam” cemented his reputation, which also wasn’t hurt by a memorable guest spot, toasting on a remix of the Fugees smash “Killing Me Softly.” The momentum has only grown since then: he appeared in the 1997 film “Dancehall Queen, and picked up a pair of Grammy nominations for his 1998 album “The Many Moods of Moses.” His latest effort, “Art and Life,” released in summer 2000, features a high-profile guest list that includes the Fugees’ Wyclef Jean, rapper Redman and teen dream Mya, and was one of the most eagerly-awaited dancehall albums ever.     Beenie Man Education PlayJ Reggae Attention class!
