DJ Khaled – “Holy Mountain” feat. Buju Banton x Sizzla x Mavado x 070 Shake (Video)

One spliff a day’ll keep the evil away!

Blow it all away, all the way off the “Holy Mountain” with Buju Banton and Sizzla and Mavado and 070 Shake. BLOW!

Damn if DJ Khaled don’t be behind them bangers! Check out this “Holy Mountain” and if you are blessed with it… LIGHT IT UP! BURN IT UP! MORE FI-YAAH!

(And if you have to ask what ‘it’ is. Don’t worry about it. Plus, if you are at work, ‘it’ is probably something you should not be ‘lighting’ up anyway. Haa!)

Buju Banton Found Guilty On Federal Cocaine Charges In Florida

Buju Banton was found guilty of cocaine charges yesterday in a Tampa courtroom.  Like sunshine & rain the popular reggae star had just won a Grammy award a little over a week ago for his ‘Behind The Dawn’ album, but the bad news came down yesterday with him facing 15 years to life imprisonment.  A 12 member jury found him guilty on 3 counts including conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute.   This will be a huge blow to the reggae music community because just like hip hop has been at a serious crossroads as an artform so has reggae & dancehall.  Buju, who’s real name is Mark Anthony Myrie, expressed in court proceedings that he was setup by a man who turned out to be a government informant he met on a plane by the name of Alexander Johnson.  According to reports the informant allegedly netted $50,000 for helping lure Buju into federal custody & has made over $3 Million dollars as a paid informant for over 14 years.  What possibly sealed Buju’s conviction was they had him on videotape tasting the cocaine in a warehouse.  Overall its a very unfortunate situation not only for Buju, but for his 15 children, extended family members, fans, & supporters.

Stephen Marley – ‘No Cigarette Smoke’ (In My Room) feat. Melanie Fiona


Now this is some really good music right here that has me about to purchase a ticket to the islands after all this wintery weather. Stephen Marley drops this new joint featuring Melanie Fiona called ‘No Cigarette Smoke’ in anticipation of his upcoming project ‘Revelation Part 1: The Root Of Life’ due March 22nd. The sophomore album is rumored to feature Mos Def, Ben Harper, & Sizzla Kalonji among a host of other collaborators without diluting the reggae heavy sound. The album sounds like it’s shaping up well in terms of quality songs especially since I’ve still been playing the ‘Jah Army’ track alot that dropped earlier this year with his brother Damian. This particular song with Melanie Fiona has been on regular rotation for me on a personal level since I got it. The title applies to a few of my rules regarding my personal space & many of my friends can attest that I’d rather have Ganja smoke in my clothes than some nasty ass cigarette smoke. Rewind Selectah

Reggae/Dancehall Classic: Buju Banton – Driver A (Video)

Had my iphone on shuffle for a while yesterday & it landed on this classic from Buju Banton. Figured I’d post the video up on the blog today because it’s just what I was feeling for today. Allow me to take it back for a minute to one of my favorite Buju tracks….
