Buju Banton - Bedtime Story
Artist: Buju Banton
Featuring: Wyclef Jean
Producer: Mark Myrie
Album: Rasta Got Soul
Label: Gargamel Music, Inc.
To serious reggae fanatics, Buju Banton needs no introduction—he’s already reached legendary status. The veteran’s ninth studio album, finds him returning to his conscious roots as he describes the sociopolitical struggles that pervade life in his home country. On newly-released single Bedtime Story (inspired by the similarly-named Slick Rick classic), Buju and guest feature Wyclef Jean encounter a young boy whose father was killed in a street shooting. Feeling for the child’s suffering, the collaborators decide to raise him in his daddy’s absence, teaching him to support his widowed mother, and, of course, telling him stories in the evenings. With the help of Buju’s smooth guitar stylings and soft, heartfelt vocals, the boy should have no trouble falling asleep from this day forward. For more from the reggae legend, pick up a copy of Rasta Got Soul, which was released back in April.

Never been a huge BUJU supporter - just not my musical preference - but damn, I need to go back through my archives. As for Clef, dude is always dope with a guitar and a message to convey. Repeat worthy!

WOW! Best track of the night. The only Buju I've heard is dancehall party music (refer to that one banger he had with Jay-Z back in the day), but I love this style for him. I gotta admit though, the song probably wouldn;t be nearly as hot without Clef and those distinct guitar strings. Love this one.

Gr8 chill. After reading Burmy's blurb (as I always do) I couldn't stop thinking that this carries a true message which is good because it goes against the majority. As for Buju I haven't heard him for a very long time and it's a good thing that he is in the booth. Overall impression is 4 stars all the way.
