The Cool Ruler AKA the Lonely Lover was active in the studio this year, producing tracks for UK's Necessary Mayhem among others... With over 500 albums released in his name over his career (compilations included), Gregory surely left his mark an' continues to inspire.

Well Buju has released his latest album Before The Dawn, as he continues to wait on his trial- now set for December... Though the album rounds up previous works voiced an' cut at Gargamel Studios, it is his latest tracks- recorded inna jail that have been consistently hard hitting.
