Vybz Kartel Rings In The Holidays With “XMas Buddy” Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

December is the last month of the year, but to many people, that means Christmas is here. Starting November (sometimes October), we’d see decorations being laid out, and some are heading to the stores to lock down Christmas presents. In Jamaica, there was a time where a number of Artists would come out with Christmas-themed music, with Dancehall Artist Vybz Kartel being one of the go-to Artists. Seeing an absence due to him being incarcerated for a number of years, he returns with holiday cheer for the ladies in the form of the new single, “XMas Buddy“.

Produced by Greedy Lion, Vybz Kartel has a present for the ladies called, “XMas Buddy”. Listeners are taken back to the 2010s when the “World Boss” would have a song for every occasion, with Christmas being heavily anticipated. The Deejay remixes “Little Drummer Boy” to spew a few raunchy lyrics, ensuring the ladies get filled with joy, and holiday cheer lights up their faces. For this holiday season, ensure you celebrate in the best way, and keep a bottle of Str8 Vybz Rum nearby.
