Voice of Jamaica ((Expanded Edition))

Voice of Jamaica ((Expanded Edition))

Buju Banton’s gruff growls rumbled through Jamaican dancehalls in the early ‘90s, but with his international debut, 1993's Voice of Jamaica, the deejay became a worldwide sensation. The album didn’t sand away the roughness of his early work, though, with tracks like “Searching” contrasting the smooth hooks of Wayne Wonder with Banton’s gravel-gargling delivery. Digital blips underpin the tough rhythms of “Deportees (Things Change),” while “A Little More Time” reveals the sweet, gooey core beneath Banton’s harsh outer shell.
