Busy Signal is set to release his new album on VP Records, “LOADED” on September 23rd.

VP Records is proud to announce the release of Busy Signal, arguably the hottest and most versatile lyricists currently in dancehall. On his groundbreaking sophomore album Loaded, in stores September 23rd, the leading Jamaican deejay unleashes an arsenal of progressive hits that could ultimately redefine dancehall.

This eagerly awaited landmark contains #1 smashes like “Jail”, “These Are The Days”, “Unknown Number” and “Wine Pon Di Edge” that are dominating the dancehall scene worldwide despite their obvious difference in style. This is one of Busy’s trademarks and displayed throughout Loaded. His sense of fun and mischief is allowed full rein on tunes like “Wine Pon Di Edge,” “Hey Girl”, hip hop/dancehall hybrid “Tic Toc” and “Cool It Baby,” which Busy programmed himself.  Yet it’s his powerful commentaries on the ghetto lifestyle, like “These Are The Days” that have lent Busy Signal’s art its raw edge, and made him into such a potent mouthpiece for the disenfranchised youth of Jamaica and beyond. “Knocking At Your Door”, “People So Evil” and “Curfew”, are the latest examples of this, whereupon real life and his talent for storytelling combine to often spine-chilling effect.
