Dancehall Reggae Icon Buju Banton drops scorching new album - 'TOO BAD'
- 40-City Too Bad US Tour Kicks Off September 12th In Ann Arbor, MI -
 Gargamel Music, Inc. is extremely pleased to announce the North American release of international reggae superstar Buju Banton aka Gargamel's phenomenal new album Too Bad on Tuesday, September 12, 2006. It's been three-and-a-half years since Banton's Grammy-nominated Friends For Life, but well worth the wait as the iconic deejay or yore returns to his roots delivering his first pure dancehall collection since the days of Mr. Mention (1992) and Voice of Jamaica (1993).
Several of the tracks on Too Bad are already certified hits in the core market: "Hey Boy" (aka "Talk To Me") peaked at #4 on Hot 102 Jamaica's Weekly Top 30 chart; "Me & Oonu" on the classic Surfari’s "Wipe Out" riddim has reached #3 on BBC 1Xtra's Top 10 Dancehall Chart and move up two to #22 on the Weekly Top 30; "Til It Bend" reached #3 on RETV's Weekly Dancehall Chart; The street single "Nothing," produced by Banton and his Gargamel production crew, broke
into the Top 10 at #10 on the Weekly Top 30 and currently sits at #12 on the RETV chart.
The lead commercial single "Fast Lane" boasts a reflective Buju chatting lyrical verse over an unconventional riddim steeped in jazzy, rare grooves. A breakthrough masterpiece, "Fast Lane" has also received an overwhelmingly positive response at Specialty, Mixshow and Commercial radio stateside. An accompany music video will be lensed in the coming weeks.
The highly anticipated release of Buju Banton's Too Bad also coincides with the launch of the Too Bad US Tour, officially kicking off on September 12th in Ann Arbor, Michigan and crisscrossing the country over the next six weeks. The tour will feature Banton juggling new and classic hits with his Shiloh band, plus dancehall dynamo Assassin and up-and-coming Gargamel Music artist New Kidz.

Bug up Gargamel and the new album. i hope you can promote it well because i know that those ba**y boys are going to try to flop your show. but we as homophobics and carribean people should support the album. no bootlegs.
