He is known for his very aggressive style; deep, gruff voice; and was the inspiration for many modern dancehall artists like Buju Banton, Bounty Killer, and Elephant Man.
Through the middle and late-1980s, his skills as a DJ enabled him to work for Volcano, Stero Mars and the Kilimanjaro sound system, where he was featured with Super Cat and Nicodemus.
When Super Cat signed with Columbia/SME Records, Burro Banton joined forces with the ace producer Bobby Konders and the Massive B label in 1991.
In addition, he released "Phenomenon 2" on the Dun Dem riddim, in which he praises the role played by people involved in the ganja trade.
Burro Banton continues to record commercially successful and critically acclaimed music, including his hit song Badder Den Dem, which is featured on the dedicated Massive B radio station in the videogame Grand Theft Auto IV.
