BEFORE THE DAWN is the ninth studio album by international reggae icon, Buju Banton. The 10 powerful tracks that comprise this very special project are easily some of the most prophetic songs written by Banton since his extraordinary entry into the music business over twenty years ago. Recorded at the artist's own Gargamel Music studio in Kingston, Jamaica, BEFORE THE DAWN literally pierces the soul with traditional roots, easy rock and especially heartfelt reggae. The album's unofficial anthem, "Innocent" strikes a highly personal chord that will resonate deeply with the longtime Buju fan.
