He favored dancehall the most, but soca and hip-hop were important too, all of which exploded out the speakers of his DJ brother. His brother was also involved in recording Collie's demo track "Come Around," an infectious song that blew up in Europe and topped the charts in the U.K. before it came to Jamaica. As the marijuana anthem was climbing the JA charts all the way up to number one, rapper cut his own unauthorized remix, which increased the track's presence on urban American radio. Guest vocals on a remix of 's "Ring the Alarm" began his relationship with the label, while hooking up with for the rapper's I Need Mine album kept spreading the Collie Buddz name on the streets. Everything was in place as his second single, "Mamacita," and his self-titled debut album were both released by in the summer of 2007. In 2011 he returned with the free download EP Playback. In 2014 he released the singles "Light It Up" plus "Yesterday" with and , while the release of "Prescription" followed in 2015. Following an extended hiatus, Buddz returned in 2017 with his second full-length album, Good Life, featuring guest appearances. The album topped the U.S. Reggae chart. Two years later, he returned with his third album, the self-produced Hybrid. --------------------------------- Guarantee yourself a spot in the parking lot that is just a few steps from the entrance to Concerts Under The Stars.
