Timeline

1966

Desmond John Ballentine (born January 24, 1966), better known as Ninjaman, and sometimes as Don Gorgon is a Jamaican dancehall deejay, known for his controversial and pro-gun lyrics and his stuttering and melodramatic style.

1980

In 1980, he joined the Killamanjaro sound system, where he got the chance to learn from established deejays Super Cat and Early B, and released his debut single as "Uglyman".

Yet another name change made him the now, well-known Ninjaman.

1987

In 1987, Ninjaman recorded - and produced himself - his first hit single "Protection", a duet with Courtney Melody.

The following years brought many prolific collaborations with producers like King Jammy, Lloyd "Pickout" Dennis, Witty, Xterminator, Philip "Fatis" Burrell, Redman, Ini Kamoze, Bobby Digital, Augustus "Gussie" Clarke, and Steely & Clevie and Henry "Junjo" Lawes.

It has been said that Ninjaman comes up with all of his lyrics on the spot in the recording studio, in a freestyle manner.

1989

His hits over the years 1989-1992, like "Border Clash," "Murder Dem", "Permit to Bury" and "Above the Law" reinforced Ninjaman's image of a violent rude boy.
