Buju Banton Found Guilty On Federal Cocaine Charges In Florida
February 23, 2011
Buju Banton was found guilty of cocaine charges yesterday in a Tampa courtroom. Â Like sunshine & rain the popular reggae star had just won a Grammy award a little over a week ago for his ‘Behind The Dawn’ album, but the bad news came down yesterday with him facing 15 years to life imprisonment. Â A 12 member jury found him guilty on 3 counts including conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute. Â This will be a huge blow to the reggae music community because just like hip hop has been at a serious crossroads as an artform so has reggae & dancehall. Â Buju, who’s real name is Mark Anthony Myrie, expressed in court proceedings that he was setup by a man who turned out to be a government informant he met on a plane by the name of Alexander Johnson. Â According to reports the informant allegedly netted $50,000 for helping lure Buju into federal custody & has made over $3 Million dollars as a paid informant for over 14 years. Â What possibly sealed Buju’s conviction was they had him on videotape tasting the cocaine in a warehouse. Â Overall its a very unfortunate situation not only for Buju, but for his 15 children, extended family members, fans, & supporters. Read the full associated press report HERE.

February 12, 2011
I really dig this remix from Dirty Money. Unfortunately I think Puff’s rap segment is rather weak but overall I’m really feeling this remix of the song. No disrespect to Puff but I may have to edit his rap segment of the song out for my personal enjoyment. If I decide to do so y’all can check back here for it. Take that! Take That! Take That!
