The day after the 2003 edition of Sting, we entered Buju Banton’s Axum compound, the home of Gargamel Recording Studio. We found him relaxing with a few friends and received a warm welcome. One of our crew blessed him with a new pure-breed dog and he was truly touched by the offering. He gave us a personal tour of the studio, and then we sat outside in the yard as Buju Banton engaged us with his rather celestial revelations.
2002 was, without a doubt, the height of Bounty Killer’s career when He shared the stage with No Doubt at the Super Bowl half-time show for his guest shot on their multi-platinum hit, “Hey Baby”. The song went on to earn a Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal at the 45th Annual Awards show on February 23, 2003. However, it did not come without controversy and incidents, and Bounty Killer goes into detail on his behind the music tales here.
Even in Jamaica, where ten youths from each Parish are running their own lyrics factory from home, that’s no small feat. But many of Sizzla’s good deeds have gone largely, if not totally, unnoticed by a global market that went deaf to any natural mystic in the air after Bob Marley’s passing marked the end of their Reggae golden age. They say the message has changed. Sizzla proclaims that the word is still the same.
