Buju Banton - Mr Mention

Produced by Donovan Germain & Dave Kelly at Penthouse studio in 1992.

Mr. Mention is simply a term for someone who is being mentioned a lot, which young Buju Banton certainly was, even before making public his views about other people's sexual proclivities. His firs album for Germain fully explains why he was such a talking point in the reggae world: this is the sharpest, most confident deejay since Shabba's. Largely a collection of his first hits - including "Love Me Browning", "Batty Rider", "Woman No Fret" - this set alone would have ensured a lasting reputation.
