Reggae and Dancehall veteran Buju Banton has sent fans into a frenzy with the announcement of his 13th studio album, Born For Greatness, which will be released on September 8.

The artiste, who shared the news on his social media accounts today (July 12), said the highly anticipated 17-track project is an ode to the struggles and challenges he has overcome in the music industry to become one of the biggest faces of reggae and dancehall.

“Another stage I embrace it all. I’ve accepted the change. 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. Enjoy my 13th studio album, #BornForGreatness, available September 8th. Pre-order this Friday,” he wrote.

The track list promises to deliver songs featuring American rapper Snoop Dogg, who will collab with Banton on High Life, reggae sensation Stephen Marley will be featured on Feel Away and Victoria Monet will make an appearance on Body Touching Body.

Other songs on the list include: Ageless Time, Life Choices, Born For Greatness, Yard And Outta Road, Turn up Tonight, Sweeter, Plans, Nuff Love For You, Walked Out, We Find A Way, My Microphone, Trial by Fire, and Let My People Go.

Also featured on the track list is the veteran’s recently released single Coconut Wata (Sip), which received more than 300,000 views on YouTube.

Banton also shared the album’s artwork, posing pictures of himself decked in pieces of gold jewellry around his knuckles, neck, head, and wrist and a full black outfit.

Excited for the release of new music from the Grammy-Award-winning artiste, fans fled to the comments section.
