Bounty Killer Pays Homage To Lady Patra On Her Birthday

Bounty Killer gave Jamaican musical icon Lady Patra a special birthday shoutout on Sunday (November 22).

“Happy earth strong to my sister legendary Lady Patra the queen of the pack you set the trend and opened the doors to international dancehall stardom next to Shabba blessing love light and prosperity up on u this day and beyond u go girl🎁🎂🎉💝🎊🙏🏾 @therealpatra,” Killer wrote.

The entertainer also called on social media users to support Lady Patra’s new business venture, “Chateau 7 Gourmet Jerk.”

“Her international appeal as a dancehall artist was unmatched in the 90s,” he continued before urging fans to checkout her “Queen of the Pack” music video in which he made a cameo.

Born Dorothy Smith in 22 November 1972, Lady Patra started her musical career in the late 1980s.

Patra first made an impression on the US charts as a featured singer on the Shabba Ranks song, “Family Affair”, which hit No. 84 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1994.

In 1993, Patra released her debut album Queen of The Pack (#1 on the Reggae albums chart). It was led by the single “Think (About It)” in 1993, which peaked at #21 on the Billboard Rap Singles chart and #89 on R&B. Her follow-up single “Worker Man” became a bigger hit, reaching #53 on the Hot 100, the Top 20 on the R&B chart and #1 on the U.S. Dance chart. The album’s third and final single, “Romantic Call” (#55 U.S.,#21 U.S. Dance), was a collaboration with emcee Yo-Yo.
