Editorial Reviews
One of the kingpins of Jamaican reggae music, Banton delivers his most musically audacious work to date. This album unites Buju's vocals with organic roots reggae rhythms carefully crafted by a select aggregation of Kingston, Jamaica's finest musicians. His 1992 debut "Mr. Mention" earned him more #1 singles than any other Jamaican artist, including Bob Marley, and his 1995 Grammy-nominated "'Til Shiloh" remains one of the best-selling reggae albums of all time.

i picked this cd up yesterday and i give it a 4.5 of 5 and would definitely rate it as just as good as his previous big albums like inna heights, friends for life (my previous fav), & of course til shiloh.
for me, half this album felt like it was speaking to me personally and uplifting me to be more conscious and aware of my own living. i had goosebumps while listening to 3 songs so far even though it was the first time i had ever heard them. i can envision myself or even a new listener hearing this cd 20 years from now and having it be just as relevant then as it is today. i'd like to think that even my mother would enjoy listening to this cd, even though she may only be listening for the catchy beats and nifty drumming.
this is message music at its finest and instantly one of my favorite reggae albums of all time. i hadn't heard such inspiring tunes on an album in a very long time, and i am constantly searching. buju is back on top and has confirmed to me that he has never left, he just took his time to make some quality music when lots of others are just looking for a quick pay check... thanks buju!!!

Finally, after this album's release was delayed so Buju could release his angry dancehall album "Too Bad," we finally get "Rasta Got Soul."
And to those who like Buju for his rootsy efforts, such as the "Til Shiloh" album will find much to love here.
The album title may pay homage to the Toots and the Maytals' "Reggae Got Soul," but this album is the familiar Buju rootsy reggae.
The old single "Magic City" is here, and fans of "Til Shiloh" and "Inna Heights" will see that "Rasta Got Soul" picks up right where those left off.
As good as "Magic City" is, it has a lot of company with even better songs, such as the rootsy and powerful "I Rise" and "Rastafari."
While there may be little surprises here, Buju still shows he's firmly grounded in his convictions, and like Michael Rose, he knows how to put out solid album after album.
Other dancehall/reggae artists make sell more units, true fans of those styles know where the good stuff is, and they can find it in "Rasta Got Soul."

cocaine distribution charges aside, banton is doing 'ok' with his efforts recording, but this CD does NOT rise above average......this will be 'cool' for a very narrow audience of die-hards

Buju gone bad
Buju has created nothing new with Rasta Got Soul; the cd wasn't exactly terrible but it was a replay of previous songs. Read more

Good cd
I was a little dissaponted with this cd as I really expected more since I heard Magic City a few years ago and I thought the songs would be as good. Still this is a good cd .
