VP Records
Buju Banton has officially announced his new album Too Too Bad, scheduled for release on July 17, 2026. The project marks his return to VP Records after more than twenty years and appears to pay homage to his acclaimed 2006 dancehall album Too Bad. The announcement has generated significant excitement among reggae and dancehall fans, particularly because it suggests a renewed focus on the energetic dancehall sound that helped make Buju one of Jamaica’s greatest artists. Supported by the successful single “Butterflies” and arriving alongside his Roots and Rhymes Summer Tour with Stephen Marley, Too Too Bad is already shaping up to be one of the most anticipated reggae and dancehall releases of the year.
Buju Banton’s latest single, “Butterflies,” has secured the No. 1 position on major Caribbean singles and airplay charts, further cementing the reggae icon’s enduring influence. The track combines modern production with a heavy roots-reggae vocal performance, earning widespread support from radio stations and fans across the Caribbean. As anticipation grows for his upcoming album Too Too Bad, the success of “Butterflies” signals that Buju remains one of the most powerful and relevant voices in contemporary reggae music.
Reggae icon Buju Banton has officially reunited with VP Records to release his 14th studio album, a 16-track project dedicated to reclaiming the raw, unrefined sound of authentic Dancehall. Moving away from more experimental styles, Buju’s new work focuses on the “rudeboy” foundation of drums, bass, and horns—painting a musical picture of Jamaica’s real-life experiences without “sugarcoating.”
The album launch coincides with Buju’s 2026 North American “Overcomer Tour,” featuring high-profile stops in cities like Philadelphia, New York, and Milwaukee. With recent strikes like “Ungrateful People” and the Ari Lennox collaboration “Company,” the Gargamel is signaling a massive cultural renaissance that bridges the gap between the legends of the 90s and the modern global stage.
