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 ↴
Yo,
Yo,
Yo.
Don't pretend I'm not as violent as a dropkick,
Crazy like a kamikaze pilot in a cockpit,
Brashness of demons spitting flames,
Elegant and dangerous like a angel with a fire sword,
Fly like a falcon,
Grip you like a Vulcan,
Flip you like a dolphin,
Then hit you like I'm golfin',
We got the family back together like the Huxtable's,
Now I'm back to blowing up again like I'm combustable,
Don't give a fuck about a rapper cause he's younger man,
You see the strongest will survive like it's the Hunger Games,
Steppin' with my weapon,
Or,
I'm the deafest leprechaun,
Hot and I won't stop,
Until I'm fucking up a echelon.
I'm the last,
I'm the last,
I'm the last emperor,
Little tattooed midget with a bad temper,
I'm an underground king,
I'm a rap mentor,
I got a heart made of gold with a black center,
I'm the last,
I'm the last,
I'm the last emperor,
I'm the king of this castle but you can't enter,
I'm an underground king,
I'm a rap mentor,
I'm the last,
I'm the last,
I'm the last emperor.
Everything you spit,
It is wishy washy,
My personalities combined,
Make a vicious posse,
Wonderful like witchcraft,
Colorful like Riff Raff,
Blow a bit of piff back,
I'll throw up on a sick track,
Fellas kicking lyrics like Tianjin Wushu,
Do a show and pay the fucking rent,
And buy some new shoes,
This new shit is big dawg,
Relevant elephant,
These rappers they are soft dawg,
Gelatin skeleton,
I get words from movies,
I write my rhymes on loose leaf,
I still get reclusive,
I still sweat profusely,
I still got the best kung fu,
Call me Bruce Lee,
I still got a bad hairline,
And need new teeth.
I'm the last,
I'm the last,
I'm the last emperor,
I'm the king of this castle but you can't enter,
I'm an underground king,
I'm a rap mentor,
I'm the last,
I'm the last,
I'm the last emperor.
I breathe fire like a dragon,
Breathe fire like a dragon,
Madchild come up with words you can't imagine,
I breathe fire like a dragon.
Mystic northerner,
Encrypted messages,
My blood is pure dawg,
Persistant pessimist,
My thirst is merciless,
My hungers infinite,
My words are virtuous,
My brains my instrument,
I'm only half man,
I'm a saboteur,
But I get love from my city like Macklemore,
I was a king now I'm a legend in a shallow lore,
Friends were full of shit so now I dodge 'em like a matador,
New son of heaven I am riding on a dragon,
In human form a b-boy that is riding with a magnum,
These kids they know it is impossible to keep me quiet,
They know it's on now,
Cause they awoke a sleeping giant.
I'm the last,
I'm the last,
I'm the last emperor,
Little tattooed midget with a bad temper,
I'm an underground king,
I'm a rap mentor,
I got a heart made of gold with a black center,
I'm the last,
I'm the last,
I'm the last emperor,
I'm the king of this castle but you can't enter,
I'm an underground king,
I'm a rap mentor,
I'm the last,
I'm the last,
I'm the last emperor.
I breathe fire like a dragon,
Breathe fire like a dragon,
Madchild come up with words you can't imagine,
I breathe fire like a dragon.
