International reggae icon Buju Banton has released his highly anticipated new album, ‘Born For Greatness’.
Released on September 8th, ‘Born For Greatness’ comprises 17 new tracks from the Grammy-award-winning Jamaican crooner.
On the album, Buju shared: “Another milestone, Another stage. I embrace it all. I’ve accepted the change. Here is something special. From my experience and musical journey. An ode to those who acknowledge the struggles and challenges that surmount. And others who will, your eyes are not deceiving you nor are your ears, you were born for greatness. I embrace you with love melodies and music.”
On this epic LP, Kingston native traces a journey through vibes—from the cinematic opener ‘Ageless Time’ up until the triumphant finale of ‘Let My People Go.’ Along the way, he welcomes a handful of friends to ride shotgun, collaborating with Victoria Monét on the sultry and seductive ‘Body Touching Body’ and Stephen Marley on the emotionally charged ‘Feel A Way.’
As a prelude, Buju recently dropped the catchy dancehall anthem ‘Coconut Wata (Sip)’ which arrived on the heels of the global banger ‘High Life’ featuring Snoop Dogg.
Buju continues to pave the road towards a full-length follow-up to 2020’s universally acclaimed ‘Upside Down 2020’, which garnered a Grammy-Award nomination in the category of “Best Reggae Album”. Buju’s Grammy-winning album ‘Before the Dawn’ was released in 2010.
