Buju Banton's new album ‘Before the Dawn’ will be released on Tuesday in North America and Japan.
The release date for the UK and France has been set for October 4, however, the album will be available in the rest of Europe from October 1.
Despite his incarceration in the US, the reggae artiste was heavily involved in putting his latest album together.
He helped choose the final track listing, worked via phone with the producers and engineers to get the mixes just right, and conceptualised the distinguished packaging.
Hard copies of the album contain a special note written from inside the Pinellas County Jail in Clearwater, Florida, where he has been held for the past nine months.
Fans around the world may pre-order the album now on both itunes and amazon.com.
It's Buju's ninth studio album and was recorded at his own Gargamel music studio in Kingston.
‘Before the Dawn’ boasts 10 tracks that comprise some of the most powerful songs written by Buju since his professional entry into the music business over 20 years ago.
