Buju Banton is restricted from recording new music in prison, so we reached out to folks inside his camp and they told us that the song that Rihanna is working on are from previously recorded material. “I can’t divulge any details about this but I can say that Buju has a lot of previously recorded unreleased material,” sources told us while requesting anonymity. “These are two great artists and you can only expect great music from artists of this quality.” Rihanna has always been a huge fan of reggae music especially artists like Bob Marley, Buju Banton, and Sizzla Kalonji. Rihanna was also spotted earlier this week wearing a T-Shirt with Buju Banton image on it paying homage to the reggae singer.
Buju is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence in Florida for cocaine trafficking conviction. He is scheduled to be released from prison in late 2018 when he will be deported to Jamaica. The Grammy-winning reggae star has maintained his innocence, but after exhausting his appeals, he opted to complete his sentence. Releasing a song with Rihanna will sure give his career some lifeline ahead of his release from prison. Stay tuned to Dancehall HipHop for more details about some upcoming music from Rihanna and Buju Banton.
