My Xperience is a reggae album by Jamaican dancehall performer Bounty Killer , released in 1996 (see 1996 in music ). Bounty Killer was one of dancehall's biggest stars in the 1990s and his harsh hip hop -influenced songs made him a controversial figure. Most of the songs on My Xperience are morose tales of poverty and violence.
The album was listed in the 1999 book The Rough Guide : Reggae: 100 Essential CDs .[ 1]
The AllMusic review by Alex Henderson awarded the album 4.5 stars stating "Those who aren't big dancehall fans may find the hip-hop-influenced CD hard to get into; those who are heavily into it will find a lot to admire on My Xperience, which contains major dancehall hits like "Living Dangerously" and "Virgin Island." A variety of guests join Bounty—everyone from the Fugees on "Hip-Hopera" to reggae singer Barrington Levy on "Living Dangerously" to hardcore rapper Jeru the Damaja on "Suicide or Murder." Granted, dancehall has its limitations and can wear thin after awhile [sic ], but even so, My Xperience makes for an exhilarating listen".
