Career

Through his acquaintance with the Jamaican Deejay Chico, he had the opportunity to witness the recording of a new single by the Jamaican Tony Matterhorn . When the sound engineer there heard Plunkett's voice, he was so excited that they both exchanged their phone numbers. Some time later, Kiprich was invited to the studio to listen to a few riddims. This resulted in his first single called "Leggo di bwoy" which was released in 1999 as a dubplate on a white label . He originally had this song for his first appearance in the extreme , a so-called dancehall, in Portmore . Due to the great success, Kiprich began to release more singles on various labels in the same year. Then the US label VP Records became aware of him.

In the following year, Kiprich released songs on various labels. In 2001 Kiprich began working with the well-known Deejay Elephant Man and went on his Dancehall Spectrum tour with him . After he only released one single that year, numerous singles appeared again on various labels over the years.
