About

His voice lays down some of the hardest lyrics this side of Shabba Ranks, but Banton's developing messages are helping Dancehall move away from earlier Gangsta trappings. Banton originally got into some trouble for some politically incorrect standpoints, but his music has kept audiences dancing with a tight backing band and music that relies on the sound and message of Roots Reggae.
