Banton, Buju - Too Bad
Releasedatum: 1 september 2006
It’s been three-and-a-half years since Buju Banton’s Grammy- nominated "Friends For Life", but well worth the wait as the deejay returns to his roots delivering his first pure dancehall collection since the days of Mr. Mention (1992) and Voice of Jamaica (1993). Several of the tracks on "Too Bad" are already certified hits in the core market: "Hey Boy" (aka "Talk To Me") peaked at #4 on Hot 102 Jamaica’s Weekly Top 30 chart; "Me & Oonu" on the classic Surfari’s "Wipe Out" riddim hit #3 on BBC 1Xtra’s Top 10 Dancehall Chart and moved up two notches to #22 on JA's Weekly Top 30; "Til It Bend" reached #3 on RETV’s Weekly Dancehall Chart; The street single "Nothing", produced by Banton and his Gargamel production crew, just broke into the Top 10 at #10 on the Weekly Top 30 and currently sits at #12 on the RETV chart.The lead commercial single "Fast Lane" boasts a reflective Buju chatting lyrical verse over an unconventional riddim steeped in jazzy, rare grooves. A breakthrough masterpiece, "Fast Lane" has also received an overwhelmingly positive response at Specialty, Mixshow and Commercial radio stateside.
