	Buju Banton Backstage
		Buju was saying how sorry he was that he didn’t make St. Louis this tour, but the venues that he’s been booked into in the past were “the size of bathrooms.” Issa fully agrees with him and she will do her best with the current promoters in St. Louis to rectify this situation.
		Buju: That’s just natural, you see, to move from one style to another style, what inspired that as an artist who is involved in art to evolve in a forward process is always inevitable.
		Buju: The creativity I was feeling was expressed on the record and I do think I managed to capture some of that vibe as much as possible and it was also embedded in the Til Shilo album of that evolution in my life.

		Buju was at the top of his form on this album and had delivered the most memorable dancehall album ever produced.
		While the fact that Banton could not follow up this disc with something even better has lost him the consideration of being in league with Marley, his brilliance on this album cannot be denied.

	Review - Buju Banton : Inna Heights
		Part of Buju Banton's winning formula is his ability to combine the spirit of Bob Marley's legacy with the heart and soul of dancehall music.
		All tracks on this new Buju Banton album are produced by Donovan Germain with the exception of two by Sly & Robbie.
		Buju's teaming up with unexpected reggae vets King Stitt (the first monarch crowned king of DJs) and Toots "Maytal" Hibbert catches the eye, however, the best combination cuts are done with Beres Hammond and Red Rat.

	Buju Banton
		At 29 years of age, Buju aka Mark Anthony Myrie may be younger than contemporaries like Bounty, Beenie and Capleton, but his gruff voice and a penchant for hardcore lyrics have endowed him with more Jamaican number ones than any other artiste (including Bob Marley).
		As the label's rising star, Buju was quick to learn all the lessons his labelmates could teach him and by 1993, he had become one of reggae's most formidable artistes.
		Buju released a barrage of hits: Big It Up, Champion, Batty Rider and Bogle, but it was his most controversial track, Boom-Bye-Bye that really put the spotlight Buju.

		In the early 1990s, teenager Buju Banton achieved notoriety in Jamaica's raucous dancehall scene with a series of controversial songs.
		Banton has a remarkably wide musical range, and selections such as "No Respect," which features a sonically complex digital production, "Untold Stories," an introspective song backed by a simply strummed acoustic guitar, and "Hills and Valleys," with its old-style roots feel, demonstrate his mastery of most of reggae's musical offshoots.
		Banton's music is a throwback to the days of Bob Marley, a time when the most positive messages were set to the strongest beat, and the best songs touched your heart and mind even as they made you get up and dance.
