Artist
Buju Banton
Rose in the early nineties with aggressive deejay style before transitioning to conscious roots reggae. His early dancehall work was defined by controversy over homophobic lyrics in tracks like "Boom Bye Bye," which sparked international backlash and forced a reckoning with what could and couldn't be said on global stages. His vocal approach brought a darker, more aggressive cadence that influenced the next generation of artists.
