Choosing Not to Speak

Buju Banton, the famous Rastafarian singer/Dj, has recently been charged and arrested under the allegation of attempting to purchase 5 kilos of cocaine with the intent to distribute. Many know Buju as one of the leading artist in the conscious rasta movement, in which Buju himself strongly spoke out against the usage of cocaine, understanding the negative effects it has had on his home country of Jamaica.

I am sorry to hear something like this, especially from an artist of this stature. Buju has been an idol and role model to my self and many other Jamaicans, because of his ideology of peace, love, unity and the upliftment of black people everywhere.
