Buju's gruff voice dominated the Jamaican airwaves for the duration of the year.
1992 was an explosive year for Buju as he broke Bob Marley's record for the greatest number of #1 singles in a year.
In response, he released 'Love Black Woman,' which spoke of his love for dark-skinned beauties: 'Mi nuh Stop cry, fi all black women, respect all the girls dem with dark complexion'. Controversy erupted over 'Love Me Browning' which spoke of Banton's penchant for brown-skinned women: 'Mi love my car mi love my bike mi love mi money and ting, but most of all mi love mi browning.' Some accused Banton of denigrating the beauty of darker skinned black women. Buju is one of the most popular musicians in Jamaican history, having major chart success in 1992, with 'Bogle' and 'Love me Browning', both massive hits in Jamaica. In 1991, Buju joined Donovan Germain's Penthouse Records label and began a fruitful partnership with producer Dave Kelly who later launched his own Madhouse Records label.
