He is half of the Vancouver-based hip-hop group Swollen Members, alongside Prevail and longtime producer Rob the Viking. In 2009, he released his solo EP entitled The Mad Child EP. Mad Child can be recognized by his high, nasal, atypical voice.
In late 2009, around the time of the release of the newest Swollen Members album "Armed to The Teeth", news broke about Bunting's addiction to opioid painkillers. His addiction was purportedly directly related to the 3 year "break" taken by the group. He has since recovered, and often references his past in his more recent lyrics.
Madchild was also a previous member of the legendary Rock Steady Crew.

Madchild Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I'm pullin' playboy bunnies just like a rabbit trap
White boy, looking like an angry tatted cabbage patch
That flies economy, but Lola's got a Gucci travelbag!
Lone ranger, back on the saddle with satin saddlebags
And two chrome platinum battleaxe's that cattle brand
I don't battlerap as I shadowcast
Attack a pack of cackling jackals to watch them scatter fast!
Wants me to tie her up, but said I have to put the paddle back
Master of the universe, He-man, I'm back on battlecat
Mad'll rap — circles around these rappers, hold your bladder back!
I sabotage and camouflage and cause an avalanche
So call an ambulance, while this track keep playin a mandolin
Scrambling these words together, no one fucks with fancy pants
I'm vain as fuck, can't walk by a mirror without a handsome glance!
I'm a sick and twisted midget with invisible friends
I cut like scissors with precision while you're miserably vague
I mutilate the master, leave them physically dead
Some rappers run away from me like I'm a biblical plague
Sometimes I paint my face like juggalos and twisted sister
Eleven on the richtor, sick-o, I'm a triple twister
What comes around, goes around Ill close you down clown
Lyrics they keep circling your head, like Bose surround sound!
Okay, remain sober, insane cobra, the evil green dragon
Pain's over, white range rover, to silver G wagon
I watch for new popular acts like I got binoculars
Cause one day, my shit is gonna end like the apocalypse!
But 'til then, rapper fuck around he's getting stamped out
Devil ain't just knocking on my door, he's fucking camped out!
Would someone please tell Lucifer I'm back to being a recluse again?
Every night I pray to God with Jesus on the crucifix!
And I don't want no problems, but the little Goblin's gone legit
No disrespect, but following your path, my life has gone to shit!
And even though I'm dope as barrels full of coke and heroine
I'm happy being clean and flying straighter than an arrow is!
The devil's laughing, while these rappers buy his hollow dreams
Me? I'm down with juggalos, paint our faces like Halloween!
Cellar dweller, you're Helen Keller, I am Skeletor
My juggernaut gone in 60 seconds like an Eleanor!
I'm a sick and twisted midget with invisible friends
I cut like scissors with precision while you're miserably vague
I mutilate the master, leave them physically dead
Some rappers run away from me like I'm a biblical plague
Sometimes I paint my face like juggalos and twisted sister
Eleven on the richtor, sick-o, I'm a triple twister
What comes around, goes around Ill close you down clown
Lyrics they keep circling your head, like Bose surround sound!
Ayo I'm doper than a barrel in a boat
Full of heroin and coke
Still I'm straighter than an arrow in a bow!
My style's beautiful like Marilyn Monroe
But I'm more like Charlie Manson, when I'm tearin out your throat!
Once you get a buzz, if you lose it, it's hard to get it back
So I'm working seven days a week while tryin to keep my head intact
So many rappers now, don't matter if you're twice as dope
Tryna' ride a rusty bicycle back up an icy slope!
But due to due diligence the new villain of dooms not through killing it
Dude, I'm to militant
When I get in the zone, I'm an abstract evil poet
And I'm still yet to have my time, I think the people know it!
I'm in the Barker Lounge coming up with a darker sound
Hellhounds, and demons in my head, my dogs are barking now!
It's fun to beast but gotta leave the ego out of it
Hit the kids with love, cause that'll beat the evil out of'em
Backpack rapper, I am underground, it's pretty basic
Just get a pad and pen and smokes and find a dirty basement
Little devil, I rap for angels with dirty faces
They come from hurting places, feel it when I'm blurting statements!
I'm a sick and twisted midget with invisible friends
I cut like scissors with precision while you're miserably vague
I mutilate the master, leave them physically dead
Some rappers run away from me like I'm a biblical plague
Sometimes I paint my face like juggalos and twisted sister
Eleven on the richtor, sick-o, I'm a triple twister
What comes around, goes around Ill close you down clown
Lyrics they keep circling your head, like Bose surround sound!
In Madchild's song "Jackel," the rapper describes his new life in sunny California, where he is surrounded by palm trees and Playboy bunnies. Despite his previous battles with addiction, he seems to be thriving and moving forward. Madchild infuses his lyrics with vivid imagery and wordplay that reveal his complex personality. His descriptions of himself as both a sick and twisted midget with invisible friends and also an abstract evil poet provide insight into his motivations and creative process. Additionally, Madchild addresses his relationship with the devil and his newfound sobriety as he navigates his place in the rap world.
Madchild's lyrics in "Jackel" are rich with meaning and depth. He is known for his ability to write thought-provoking rhymes that allow listeners to unravel multiple layers of meaning. The line "Sometimes I paint my face like juggalos and twisted sister" references two distinct musical subcultures: the Horrorcore-styled Juggalos from the Insane Clown Posse and the shock-rock performers, Twisted Sister. These two groups share an affinity for over-the-top, often grotesque imagery, and it showcases Madchild's own willingness to push boundaries and master his creative style.

My time to truly shine in the rap world has not yet come, but I believe that my potential has been recognized and appreciated by fans

It's fun to beast but gotta leave the ego out of it
While being aggressive and creative in my music is enjoyable, I must not let my ego drive my decisions
Hit the kids with love, cause that'll beat the evil out of'em
I believe that showing love and positivity to young people is the key to steering them away from negative influences
Backpack rapper, I am underground, it's pretty basic
I am known as a backpack rapper, and I operate on an underground level, something that is simple and fundamental
Just get a pad and pen and smokes and find a dirty basement
All you need to create good rap music is a writing instrument, some cigarettes, and a gritty, isolated room
Little devil, I rap for angels with dirty faces
I may be seen as a devilish figure, but I create art for people who are good at heart, yet have lived in poverty and struggle
They come from hurting places, feel it when I'm blurting statements!
My music resonates with people who have suffered and come from difficult backgrounds, and they can feel the emotion and meaning that I put into my lyrics
