Buju Banton ft Wyclef Jean: Bedtime Story
2006 saw the release of the critically acclaimed “Too Bad,” his first dancehall orientated album in over a decade. Voicing riddims produced by many of Jamaica’s top producers Buju showed he still had what it took to be at the top of the dancehall game. One of the slower tracks from the album, “Driver A,” was a massive hit and revived Sly & Robbie’s ever-popular “Taxi” riddim.
He performed at the Cricket World Cup 2007 Opening Ceremony with Third World and Beres Hammond.
In 2008 he did a Soca collaboration Winning Season (remix) with Machel Montano of Trinidad and Tobago on Machel’s album Flame on.
On April 21, 2009, Buju released the long awaited and often delayed album, Rasta Got Soul, a return to strictly conscious lyrics. Included on the album is Magic City.
