Buju Banton — Buried Alive

A survivor's anthem from the 2020 album Upside Down is back across the charts, appearing on 62 country and platform charts after a ten-week absence. The resurgence tracks with a busy season for the Jamaican dancehall veteran: he released his fourteenth album, Too Too Bad, last month, a project Billboard called a return to genre roots, rolled out alongside a sound-system mixtape honoring Jamaica's sound-system culture. Catalog interest tends to spike when an artist re-enters the conversation, and Buried Alive — written after Banton's years-long imprisonment and 2018 release — carries the redemptive weight new listeners come looking for. An acoustic version exists as an Amazon Music Original. A Stephen Marley co-headline tour is booked for 2026.
