Buju Banton
Another year of reggae from I n I perspective in this 2019
The thing that impacted me most was Buju coming out of jail. Reggae music needed his insight as well as his conscious voice and truly a change in the VIBE of the culture
Reggae seemed to become a very pasteurized vibe so the Gargamel was needed to bring that old skool, ghetto truth with an emphasis on the bass and a feel and need to jump when his music is played
This is I personal opinion
“Country for sale” is a track that I am extremely grateful for based on Jamaican government officials selling out the country since Independence, 6th August 1962
It isn’t like the native Jamaicans can do one single thing about lost resources for decades but to hear an artist not only mention it yet make an iconic tune, gives some an opportunity to hear those words and possibly start that thought process in the people
Here are some things synonymous with Jamaica that I don’t believe is owned by the country, nor do the people benefit a dime from it
Alcan & Reynolds bauxite, the beaches, the hotels, Red Stripe beer, Blue Mountain Coffee, Appleton Rum, J. Wray & Nephew rum, highways built by China, GANJA, Reggae Music and I am sure there are a few more resources being taken
The Gargamel is / was needed
“Steppa”
An effective tune speaking to gun violence in Jamaica, Africa, Canada within the black communities
Nuff man mek gun tunes, yet this one resonates like no other
Blessings Buju...
