Mr. Lexx - Lost In The Music

By Nomad
OutAroad.com Writer

lexus_mrlexx_dancehall_male_jamaica.jpgOutAroad.com will be starting a weekly feature looking on reggae/dancehall artistes that burst onto the scene and then vanish into thin air. You, our readers, can assist us by sending in names of artistes you think should be on this list to outaroad@gmail.com.

We will be kicking off this feature with The Prince, a man in the music business that have gone through many name changes, but still haven’t manage to climb back up the treacherous dancehall ladder.

Initially we know this person as Lexxus, who then changed his name to Mr. Lexx and currently wishes to be called The Prince. However, despite all the name changes Mr. Lexx’s career has remained stagnant for the last couple of years.

Born Christopher Palmer, Mr. Lexx emerged on the scene in the late 90s with a plethora of hits, including Make Some Money, Prayer, Full Hundred, Ring Mi Cellie, Cook, Let Those Monkeys Out, and others. He also gave breathtaking performances at two of Jamaica’s biggest stage shows, Sting and Reggae Sumfest. The girls usually scream when they hear his name. His songs frequented the charts and he ruled the airwaves.

After an altercation involving Bounty Killer, ‘a fierce deejay slayer’, regarding what was termed Mr. Lexx’s ‘eating habits’, things took a turn for the worst. Mr. Lexx’s popularity began to wane. The airwaves were no longer his to rule and he simply withdrew himself from the spotlight.

The Prince has had several masterful opportunities to regain his stardom. His first coming from a mammoth collaboration Anything Goes with C&N and Wayne Wonder. He followed up with the stunning collaboration with Mr. Vegas on Taxi Fare, but was not able to progress with the momentum.

Mr. Lexx’s promise to take Jamaican music to the heights of international popularity has hit a brick wall. He is no longer getting airplay. The quality of his music has deteriorated and we don’t know what to say about his image.

OutAroad.com will not ‘write off’ The Prince as a hopeless artiste, as persons have find ways in the past to make a return. For now, he simply needs to do a lot of work.

Mr Lexx has talent and if he continues to push hard, get a promotional team,a great manager & producers plus a great songwriter, i am sure he will be able to rise against the odds.
He is a very on stage as well, humility is also a key to success. Too many times i have seen hype kill a lot of these dj's including this one.

What Lex has gone through happens to many artistes at some point in their lives; one day, you're on top of the game, the next, you're out.
Many DJs who crossed paths with the Killa have either become battle-fatigued or fizzled out completely. Remember what happened to Merciless?

Hopefully, Lex will not give up, and will focus on rebuilding his image and repertoire to catapult him back into the spotlight.

LEXXUS IS ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED DANCEHALL ARTISTE, NOT ONLY IS HE A GOOD DJ BUT A GREAT DANCER AND OVERALL: AN EXCELLENT ENTERTAINER. I really wish for him to burst back on the scene and show the haters what entertainment is all about.
(SO WHAT IF HE HAS EATING HABBITS? Nuff a di artiste dem living in denial, cause a nuff a dem a do it... low di youth mek him strive.)

Posted by bigbuddyman | June 24, 2008 6:50 PM

Look I agree that Lex is a good Entertainer, when I first heard Lex i thought he was going to be the next big thing, then i realize that the only thing he has is stage performance, with a couple lucky songs. to compare him with Vegas, no no no, Vegas is a Singer, r singjay, he have melody, thats what keep him going ok. Mr. lex dont have melody, he deliver his music the same way all the time face it, he got boring, good performer still, but no comparison to Vegas.

The funny thing Bounti is more wash up than Lexx...when Mavado finally branch out from the Alliance crew to go make some real money and the Alliance dissolve , Bounti will be just a foot note in the business....I saw Lexx last year in Canada and the man still can draw a crowd.....The youth will bounce back....he got talent.

JahMayKah:
Posted by JahMayKah | June 26, 2008 2:20 PM

Com'on! Why are we still so ready to "cast the first stone?" I know Lexxus personally! He is a wonderful guy and a terrific DJ. He has way more stage performance in his little finger than bounty has in his entire body. Secondly, bounty killa cya dun no body career, awfta a nuh him mek it. Jamaicans are fallaraz, monkey see monkey do.. most a unuh cya mek up unuh own minds, you all need some body fi tell unuh wah fi duh, or unuh affi fall under peer presha and do what the mass is doing. Sad because it reflects in the politics aka politrix in Ja today. Just as you all stick to one artiste no matter what, right from wrong. Is the same you all stick to one political party no matter what. It doesnt matter the issue or the posibilities the opposite party would bring to the country. Just because you live in a certain area you vote for that certain party. Then you have those radio stations who are either scared or paid to play only certain artiste songs on the air, which is biased and these are the main contributors to what is influencing Jamaica. The music, the murders and the political government. No one who is a PNP is that by choice because of what it stood for. That changed in the late 80's and they are PNP by area or by parents, not one sit down and examine things and see what the other's arguement and plan is for the country and simply VOTE for the BEST person for the JOB of PRIME MINISTER of Jamaica. Until our people stop being this way.,, our country is DOOOMED! MEMBA I TOLD U. I love Bounty as an Arstise and I respect him. I dont like his songs that promotes violence, yet I respect his creativity. I also love and adore Moses, and I love an enjoy all his lyrix as with LEXX and ELE and the rest of them. I will not be influenced on whom to chose over whom. I dont even understand how Jamaicans can truly compare Bounty Killa and Beenie Man. They are two different artiste. One is for the men and promote badness..and one is for the ladies and promote love! Different type of deliverance and they shouldn't be compared. Movado, and Bounty should be compared, while Ele and Beenie can be compared! Use your brains Jamaicans, we were a slave physically for over 400 years yet we are still enslaved mentally which is the worst type of slavery ever! EMANCIPATE YOURSELF FROM MENTAL SLAVERY-ONLY YOU ALONE CAN FREE YOUR MINDS..yes The Prophet had spoken..BTW Jr GONG a di BEST ARTISTE OUT RIGHT NOW IF UNUH REALLY WAH ADMIT GENIUS!



JahMayKah- Respect LEXXUS:
Posted by JahMayKah- Respect LEXXUS | June 26, 2008 2:26 PM

This is one of the most humblest man I have ever met. When he come to the states to perform, unless he is onstage, you dont even know he's an artiste. When he is ready, he knows his fans will always support him. I look fwd to hearing his next tune or purchasing his next album. Unuh so quick to backlash him rather than support and try and encourage and uplift the man. Now you all left and gone on the man wife, and this lady has done nothing to you all. I can just imagine the sad cause your personal life is in why you feel it's the best thing to do to backlash a person and talk about people you dont even know. Has his wife ever talked bad about bounty or beenie man? Has this lady sang a tune or made a record? Did the headline read Mr LEXXUS and his wife? NO! Its about LEXX so why not stick to that? Boy I am glad I am a female who is proud to be a Jamaican, but when I see this going on with my people I realize how far we have regressed since the 80's its dispicable and I am sad to see that our people still continue to display programmed mentality. The slave mind! Be and independent Thinker Jamaicans.. "RISE UP TO THE OCCASION" And stop following the "MASS" think for yourself!!!!

Bounty admitted that he too is a carpet muncha inna assylum nite club a Kingston in 2008. Suh if Lexxus a dweet he is only one of the millions of men and 1 in the 95% of Jamaican men who are doing it. As long as a nuh di back door him a teck di man nuh ave nuttin fi worry bout. BOUNTY CYA OUT NUH BADDIE CAUSE BOUNTY NAYM UNDA BAGGIE himself tuh! Ask him, he is man enough to admit it now! And if him seh a lie then I know him respect gane!

Moviestar*:
Posted by Moviestar* | June 26, 2008 9:10 PM

Well, I've recently met Lexx and from my observation he is so humble and has a great sense of humour. I think however he had allowed Bounty's exposing his 'eating' habits to get the best of him as well as others. I remembered him being a real star spitting out real hot songs. I fear he has let pple cower him into not being the best he can be. You should take a chance Lexx and buss back again dont worry about anything anymore. Its hard but I know you can do it. I am rooting for you.

In life, I have learned that if yiu do somithing and is ashamed of it pple WILL ridicule you, so if you do something and you believe in it be proud of it. Who can cuss you then cause you already admitted it right or wrong?????



annoymous:
Posted by annoymous | June 27, 2008 12:00 PM

I AS A JAMAICAN IS SAD TO SAY THAT WE ARE INDEED FOLLOWERS AND LEADERS. NOT ONCE HAVE I EVER SEE A WRITE ABOUT LEXXUS AND HIS WIFE FIGHTING OVER A HOUSE OR WHICH MAN A GI DEM WIFE A PARTY OR TAKING ANOTHER MAN'S WOMAN AND FEW MONTHS LATER THEY GETTING MARRIED WHICH LEADS INTO TO DIVORCE NOT EVEN A YEAR LATER. YO LEXXUS IS A VERY HUMBLE PERSON HE IS NOT OUT THERE LIKE SOME OF THESE ARTISTES WEN IT COMES TO BIZZNESS BIZZNESS IS BIZZNESS AND HE IS A VERY GOOD PERFORMER. AND AS FOR WHO IS SAYIN THAT BOUNTY DONE THE MAN CAREER IT NUH GUH SUH, BOUNTY A EDDIAT HIM NUH HAVE NUH STAGE PRESENT WEN HIM PON STAGE DI MAN STIFF LIKE A CORPSE SUH HIM CAAN FLING HIM WORDS ALL HIM WANT AND AS FOR LEXXUS GOING UNDER THE SHEETS ALOT OF THESE ARTISTES NAM UNDER DI SHEETS AND MOST OF THEM ARE THE ONE WHO PROMOTES BADDNESS. WE JAMAICANS CAN BE SO HYPOCRITICAL, BYASS, AND SO ONE WAYED WE NEED TO STAND BY OUR PEOPLE DON'T PULL EACH OTHER DOWN INSTEAD LIFT EACH OTHER UP. AND ONCE AGAIN MI RATE LEXXUS AS AN ARTISTE SO WE NEED FI RESPECT AND LEAVE HIS WIFE OUT OF THIS SHE HAS DONE NOTHING TO ANYONE SO WE NEED TO BACK OFF AND LOW THE MAN ALONE SHOW DI MAN MUCH LOVE NO NEGATIVITY ONLY POSITIVENESS. BLESSED
