Buju Banton is officially on the Roc Nation roster. The Jamaican reggae and dancehall icon has signed to JAY-Z’s label, cementing his comeback after being released from prison last year.
In celebration of the new deal, Gargamel premiered the music video for his new single “Steppa” on Friday (November 22). The release swiftly follows the recently published single “Trust,” which dropped on November 14.
Banton becomes the second Jamaican reggae artist to represent Roc Nation, following Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley.
Jay continues to broaden the repertoire of artists on his already extensive roster. Other notable acts added this year include Megan Thee Stallion, Griselda Records artists Benny the Butcher & Westside Gunn and Maxo Kream.
In March, Banton returned to the stage for a concert that sold out Jamaica’s national stadium. The show was hailed as the “biggest music event in Jamaica since Bob Marley’s Smile Jamaica concert in 1976,” according to the BBC.
Watch the full video for “Steppa” below.
Nobody wants to sign with broke ass Nas’ Ass Appeal label anymore. Lol, I think everybody forgot he had a label now. Might as well declare bankruptcy on Ass Appeal and have Dave East and whoever else is signed come join the ROC. King HOV continues to run this rap shit. It’s the ROC in here!
Oh I also forgot to mention…I love taking it in the butt, just like every true Jay-Z dickrider does!
YOU LIKING IT IN THE BUTT IS GREAT FOR YOU AND YOUR PARTNER BUT THE REAT OF US DONT. CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU LOVE HAVING INSERTED IN YOUR RECTUM. MY BEST ADVICE IS TO REMOVE YOUR SEXUALLY EXPLICIT FANTASY FROM THIS COMMENT SECTION AND PLACE IT ON A MORE APPROPRIATE PLATFORM WHO ENTERTAINS THESE COMMENTS ABOUT YOUR LIKING OF HAVING YOUR RECTUM STRETCHED BY ANOTHER MAN
