With September 30 marking 4 years since Vybz Kartel’s incarceration, it’s no surprise that his music is still dominating the Dancehall circles and radio. Today, DJ Laron of Deadline Sound created a Mixtape in tribute to the “World Boss“. With 44 tracks in, listeners will add this to their collection as this is filled with hit after hit from the Gaza General. While many scream “Free World Boss“, they can use this as an addition to their chants. Check out the mixtape below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
The highly anticipated event Culture Shock Expo and Concert was officially launched and the school promotions are on! Taylor Made Events and PR Management hosted a successful launch for the Culture Shock Expo and Concert slated for October 3, 2015 at Dinthill High School in Linstead, St. Catherine.
The launch was held at Bog Walk High School on Thursday and was attended by several teachers and administrators. The main organizer Talisa Taylor shared “The launch surpassed my expectations.

Prison has definitely not held back this Dancehall Artist’s hunger as Vybz Kartel drops a new single titled, “Which League“. Produced by TJ Records, we hear a Kartel that is reminiscent of his “Gun tunes” times. Since its preview, it has been pleasing to the ears of many fans. Who is he really throwing shots at in this single? Many have speculated that it’s aimed at a certain “2016” Artist, but time will tell. Have you ever seen a Killer kill a shadow? Interesting fact, today (Sept. 30) marks 4 years since Vybz Kartel has been behind bars. 4 years later he’s still dominating the airwaves.
