Buju Banton: Jamrock Classics Vol. 1

When Buju Banton came to Madison Square Garden a couple weeks back, he had me shaking my head when he said that black people around the world don’t own anything of importance. So nods go out to Buju for putting out his own music on his own label:

Gargamel Music is very proud to announce that our newest compilation, Buju Banton Presents: Jamrock Classics Vol. 1 (GGM 0164), will be available in stores and online in the US and Canada tomorrow — Tuesday June 3rd.

Produced by Banton at his Gargamel Music studio in Kingston, Jamrock Classics Vol. 1, features stellar guest turns from the legendary Pinchers, George Nooks, Terror Fabulous, Ghost, Jah Cure, Yami Bolo, Tony Curtis and Lutan Fyah. The boss actually blesses the album twice – with Gargamel artist New Kidz on the deadly combo “Curfew” and also with the timely anti-gun tune “Cowboys,” which has been receiving outstanding reviews at home and abroad.

Jamrock Classics Vol. 1 is the third compilation from Buju Banton’s blossoming Gargamel Music label. The project will be officially released on June 30th in Jamaica and the Caribbean, the UK and Europe. Hear tracks from the album @ www.myspace.com/gargamelmusicinc
