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


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.

Vybz Kartel Breathes New Life Into “Ignite The World” With Official Music Video


This may not come as a surprise to many, but Vybz Kartel is one of the hardest working Dancehall Artists out. Even when he was incarcerated, he was toiling away to ensure the fans are taken care of, and his family is fed. Since his release, he has been having a Portia Simpson-Miller moment (“working working working“), and the world has seen all that he has been up to from sold out concerts, a new liquor line, more money making ventures, and of course new music. Earlier this year, he celebrated a GRAMMY nomination for his 2024 “Party With MeEP, and has decided to make up for lost time with new content. Earlier, he released the visual for, “Ignite The World“.

Directed by Rizzy for Now Or Never and shot in Miami, Vybz Kartel breathes new life into “Ignite The World” with an official Music Video. Originally released in 2014 and re-released in 2024 for his “Party With Me” EP, Vybz has the Women, the designer fashion, and Str8 Vybz Rum to celebrate good times, and bring back the energy for a track that quickly became a classic for fans. The Deejay recently performed in Tortola, BVI to a sold out crowd, and is gearing up to take on Brooklyn, New York, Europe, and a host of venues in the coming weeks as a part of his comeback tour. “Ignite The World” will definitely be in the setlist, and if you haven’t secured a ticket yet, now is the time to fix that. We’re just waiting for music videos for “Without Money“, and “Lyricist” 1 & 2 in the meantime.

Vybz Kartel Celebrates 10 Years Of “Viking” & Birthday With “Str8 Vybz” Visual


Today, January 7, is a big day in Dancehall as Vybz Kartel celebrates his 49th birthday. The Deejay enjoys his first birthday as a free Man in over 13 years, and has already made it one of his best birthdays. Come January 13, Vybz will celebrate the 10 year anniversary of his album, “Viking (Vybz Is King)” with a special version. The anniversary album will feature new songs, and one of them will be, “Str8 Vybz“.

Produced by TJ Records/Adidjahiem Records, “Str8 Vybz” finds Vybz Kartel not only enjoying the nightlife, but the release of his “Str8 Vybz” Liquor line. Launched in late 2024, “Str8 Vybz Rum” has already made dents in the Caribbean, and other parts of the world. The “Str8 Vybz” track takes us back to the late 2000s and early 2010s when Kartel had a song for every party. The visual, directed by Shane Creative, comes off like a longform Commercial for the Liquor brand, with versions of “Str8 Vybz Rum” being consumed by not only the Deejay, but fellow Entertainers, and partygoers. The “Gaza Boss” kicked off 2025 with his much talked about “Freedom Street” Concert, and is gearing up for even more in the coming weeks. Drink up to this one, and drink responsibly.

December 31st will be a night for the books and more as Dancehall Artist Vybz Kartel will headline his highly-anticipated “Freedom Street” Concert. Since his release from Prison on July 31, fans have been awaiting the day he takes the stage, and deliver his hits for them. The announcement of the Concert came this past August, and updates about the venue, the date, and what to expect have been shared and hinted. Earlier today, the public got a lot more information at the official Press Conference.

Vybz Kartel joined Joe Bogdanovich and “Skatta” Burrell of Downsound Records, and more on stage at Janga’s Sports Bar as valuable updates on “Freedom Street” were shared. For those who were eager to know what the lineup would be like, Kartel shared that his sons Likkle Addi and Likkle Vybz, Skillibeng, and Spice are confirmed to share the stage with him. Busta Rhymes, longtime friend and collaborator would make an appearance at the event, and possible appearances by Drake, Popcaan, and fellow Portmore Empire members were mentioned. Updates for more lineup additions would be shared in the coming weeks on Social Media. For those wondering what the “World Boss” would do in terms of performing, he shared that the show would be split into different eras, and songs from his “Black Kartel” days, the “War Angel” era, the “World Boss” times, and his incarcerated time would be performed. As a bonus for Concert goers, Downsound Records will have a “Black Friday” sale on November 29 and 30 that will slash 50% off tickets for those who missed out on the early bird specials.

In addition to the Concert, Vybz Kartel also officially launched his “Str8 Vybz Rum” line. With three variations offered, Vybz will bring fans back to the days of “Street Vybz Rum“, and introduce a new audience to his entrepreneurial side. The Rum is already on shelves at select locations, and he plans to bring it to even more parts of the world in the coming months.

The world is ready for Vybz Kartel, and “Freedom Street” is just the beginning.
