‘Born For Greatness’ - Buju says new album is something special

Grammy-winning, multiple Billboard chart-topping artiste, and international reggae icon Buju Banton is getting ready to release his highly anticipated new album, Born For Greatness.

The project is set to drop on September 8.

Born For Greatness comprises 17 new tracks from Buju. On the project, the reggae legend traces a journey through vibes -- from the cinematic opener, Ageless Time, straight through to the triumphant finale of Let My People Go. Along the way, he welcomes a handful of friends to ride shotgun, collaborating with Victoria Monet on the sultry and seductive Body Touching Body, and Stephen Marley on the emotionally charged Feel A Way.

"Here is something special. From my experience and musical journey. An ode to those who acknowledge the struggles and challenges that surmount. And others who will, your eyes are not deceiving you nor are your ears, you were born for greatness. I embrace you with love melodies and music," Buju said of the album.

As a prelude, he recently dropped the catchy dancehall anthem Coconut Wata (Sip), which arrived on the heels of the global banger High Life, featuring Snoop Dogg.

In addition to plugs from HYPEBEAST, TMZ, and more, REVOLT hailed it as "perfect for the stoners' holiday", and HotNewHipHop proclaimed, " High Life is a perfect combination of their respective styles." Rap Radar attested, "the Kingston native and the O.G. from the L.B.C. spread good vibes with the finest herbs", and Rolling Stone summed it up best as "bumping".
