'Til Shiloh

'Til Shiloh is a dancehall style reggae album by Jamaican dancehall musician Buju Banton, released in 1995 on Loose Cannon Records (see 1995 in music). His international breakthrough, 'Til Shiloh marked a turn towards more serious themes in Banton's lyrics, which had previously focused on "slack" (e.g. violent, misogynist) subjects. Many of the songs on this album explore Buju's then newfound faith in the Rastafari movement, with songs such as "Til I'm Laid to Rest", and "Untold Stories". Although this is a lighter album, Banton's old dancehall "tough guy" image reappears with the scathing indictment "Murderer", as well as the "loverman" style tracks of "Hush Baby Hush" and "Wanna Be Loved".

In 2002 the album was re-released on Universal Records as an expanded version featuring the tracks "Sensemilia Persecution" and "Rampage".
