Vybz Kartel Wants Better For The Ghetto Yutes On “It Hard”!


Vybz Kartel continues to feed the streets with his signature sound, lyrics that connect with the listener instantly, and a presence that is still felt despite being incarcerated. Kartel still rules with songs for the Women, party tunes, and the occasional gun lyrics, but when he gets into some consciousness, it’s a different experience. He taps into that side with the single, “It Hard“.

On a beat produced by his son Aiko Pon Di Beat, Vybz Kartel wants better for the ghetto yutes, and those who are living in the struggle. Life can be rough and times are hard, but it will get better somehow. Vybz gets melodic on this one, and he takes on the roles of a comforter, and motivator. He shares what many are experiencing, and he can relate to it because he has been there. Still connecting with the people behind bars, here’s to more music from him.

Featuring Dancehall Artist Wayne Marshall, Vybz Kartel displayed superb delivery and lyricism on “New Millennium”. He opened with the iconic line, “Inna mi Karl Kani, wid a bottle a tall Canei, tuff a life?”, and Wayne Marshall showed that he had a great career ahead of him when he delivered the hook/chorus. This great collaboration became an overnight hit for Vybz Kartel, a first in his career, and made way for his transition from upcoming Artist, to one of the greatest Dancehall Artists to ever do it. “New Millennium” was featured on Vybz Kartel’s 2003 debut album, “Up 2 Di Time“.

It’s A Family Reunion On Bounty Killa, Vybz Kartel, & @BusySignal_Turf’s “Dats Gadzilla”


For 3 decades, Dancehall Artist Bounty Killa has built his career from being a Lyricist, to one of Dancehall’s living legends. Bounty has built careers, killed careers, and laid foundations for the future generations to be inspired by. He is controversial, militant, but mostly celebrated. Today, we see that he’s not out of the game as he is preparing for the release of his biggest album yet, “King Of Kingston“. Before we get to experience that, he unleashes a much anticipated single called, “Dats Gadzilla“.

Produced by EscoDaShocker and Yo Christon, “Dats Gadzilla” is a much anticipated single from Bounty Killa featuring Vybz Kartel and Busy Signal. The Artists do damage on this track, showcasing that despite their many years in music, they are as sharp as ever, and can create songs that will surely connect with the world. Talk about a family reunion as Bounty reconnects with his musical sons to create a track that will be catching fire in no time. Bounty Killa had a highly publicized feud with Vybz Kartel for years and Busy had words with Kartel, but they have all patched things up since. The great thing about this collaboration, it will have long time fans seeing some much needed unity. With “King Of Kingston” on the way, expect a lot more big moments from the “Grung Gaad Zilla“!
