Born and raised in Englewood, New Jersey and in Bermuda he has had the best of both worlds being born to parents of two different countries. Runksie grew up in the music industry in Englewood, the home of the Sugar Hill Gang, Regina Bell and Eddie Murphy. He inspiration in music started by the likes of Curtis Blow, LL Cool J, KRS One, Rappers Delight and surprisingly Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder. He wrote his first rap verse at the age of 9 years old. And at that time 'Runksie says,' 'I got a taste of reggae from my father because he used to play Bob Marley on these 8 track tapes, so I was hearing this reggae music while I was writing my own lines and learning to flow with the music.', However, it was after moving to Bermuda that Hill became interested in Reggae music and the works of Bob Marley. In his early teens he began chatting, as well as imitating Yellowman, Josey Wales, Charlie Chaplin and Papa San, the Jamaican artist that had inspired me the most. During this time, Runksie was on the sound system 'Spider Hifi', where he received the name Ranks. Then the name was Daddy Ranks after another artist came on the seen name Junior Ranks. Then again it was changed to Daddy Runksie and finally Runksie. After a year he progressed to a larger sound, Magnum Hi Power where he was groomed with the likes of Shorta Ranks and Pata Ranks. Two top dancehall artist in Bermuda at the time. Although Magnum Hipower provided him the necessary outlets for exposure, Runksie felt the need to expand and further himself with a business approach which took him to Dub City Records. To stay ahead of the competition, writing lyrics became more frequent and he found it difficult being the only toaster for the sound. However, this challenge motivated him more so he took over the Dub City Sound System and changed the name to Dub City International. Runksie earned an enormous amount of respect from his peers and especially his manager, who offered to finance his talents in the music business. It was then in 1987, he got his first break to form a label under Dub City Records. It was also in that same year he wrote and produced Bermuda's First 12 inch reggae dancehall single, 'Pirate Population.' It was recorded in New York which was wel received although promotion was minimal. Soon after, came another song titled ' Emily Take It' which was inspired by a tropical storm that hit Bermuda as well as a 'Summertime.' He laughs, 'that was just a joke tune for the people to enjoy and relate to.' Extensive amount of airplay was given by Bermuda's main radio ZBM1340. In 1989 Runksie flew back to NYC and recorded two more singles 'Material Minded' and 'Education is A Must' featuring Jango Thriller on Gyasi Records, which was released on a various artist album. While in NY he also performed in several dances with artist like 'Sluggy, Trevor Sparks, Shelly Thunder, Red... |
