VIDEO: @IAmTheKartel At @ReggaeSumfest 2011


a16dxzGiven that today is “Throwback Thursday” for some, why not bring my readers back in time with one of Vybz Kartel’s last performances before being apprehended by the law. Performing at Reggae Sumfest 2011, Vybz, along with Sheba, Popcaan, Gaza Slim, Tommy Lee Sparta, and Shawn Storm, performed a slew of hits and brought a lot of energy to the event. For many, this would’ve been the last time they’ve seen Vybz Kartel perform live. Check out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

NEW MUSIC: @IamTheKartel x Gaza Slim – Wickedest Ride


VYBZ-KARTEL-FT.-GAZA-SLIM-WICKEDEST-RIDELooks like we’ll be getting more Gaza songs for 2014! Today’s new music comes from Vybz Kartel and Gaza Slim. Titled “Wickedest Ride” and produced by So Unique Records and Simon Howden, we hear Kartel speaking on being with many women but is giving it up to the one girl that never left his side despite hurting her. Gaza Slim handles the chorus by letting him know that he gives her the best loving and she’ll be loyal because other women will come and go. Is this another hit by the duo? To be honest they always fit when doing collaborations but I do think the chorus could’ve been mixed better. Check out the song below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

On today’s episode of Noisey Jamaica Dancehall Show Gaza Slim is the featured artist. We see Codine Williams, Slim and crew situated at a courthouse in Kingston where Vybz Kartel attended a court date. Here Gaza Slim told Codine about her start in the music business, meeting Vybz Kartel, his incarceration, members of the Portmore Empire, her “Addi” tattoo, and other things. They also visited the West Bank community in Portmore and spoke to a few of Kartel’s fans and learned of the impact Kartel has on the community. Even though it’s a Gaza Slim episode, it felt like more of a Vybz Kartel episode. Check out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

NEW VIDEO: @GazaSlimWG – Wine


Gaza Slim today released the music video for her single “Wine“. Directed by DK Konsepp, we see Gaza Slim writing songs and showing us and her friends the the kind of wine she uses to “hold” her man. The black and white video treatment is cool but I think this looks better in colour. Vybz Kartel is her desktop background. Check out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
