Mr. Mention is the second studio album by Jamaican dancehall reggae artist Buju Banton, released in 1992. When Banton signed with Mercury Records in 1993, PolyGram purchased the rights to the album and re-released it through Mercury's independently distributed Fader Records imprint with three fewer tracks and an explicit-lyrics sticker affixed to the album cover. The album was a commercial success, contributing to Buju Banton's rapid rise in popularity in the 1990s. Many of the album's songs went on to become club hits, most notably "Who Say", which features vocals from Beres Hammond.
The song "Batty Rider" appears in the videogame Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas soundtrack, on the fictional radio station K-Jah West.
