Badda General "The Debate" on 13thStreetPromotions.com #Jamaica #Dancehall #Music #13thStreetPromotions #BaddaGeneral #TheDebate #KingOfDancehall #VybzKartel #BeenieMan #BountyKilla #Alkaline #Masicka #KingOfTheDancehall #Caribbean

Badda General Weighs In On The “King Of Dancehall” Topic In “The Debate”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Who is the King of Dancehall? Some say Bounty, some say Beenie, some say Kartel, some say Alka, some say Masicka. With plenty of names being thrown in the hat whenever conversations start, there is always division. Recently, the topic got hot when Vybz Kartel was given the title, but fellow Dancehall Artist Beenie Man opposed, and shared a few words about it. Dancehall Artist/Producer Badda General decided to step in, and discuss the new controversy in the single, “The Debate“.

Released through Real Squad Records, Badda General weighs in on the “King of Dancehall” topic in “The Debate”. While there are a number of names being called aside from Vybz Kartel, Badda shares that at the end of the day, no matter what awards, sales, and streams say, the streets make the overall decision on who qualifies for the Dancehall throne. He mentioned former GRAMMY winners Sean Paul, Shabba Ranks, Buju Banton, and Shaggy, who have made great contributions to uplifting the culture, but he also gave a short History lesson on past Artists who helped to shape Dancehall, and are a part of the G.O.A.T. list like U-Roy and Yellowman. There will be Kings, and everyone has their time, but the debates will never end. Who is YOUR King of Dancehall?

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

Posted on by swadedavillain

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.

Yannick Paul Shares A Life Changing Story On “Kvrtel CD”

Posted on by swadedavillain

For those who know, and those who don’t, Dancehall Artist Vybz Kartel will be launching his highly-anticipated “Freedom Street” Concert next week. With the year he and his fans have been experiencing, 2024 will be ending in a big way. For people like Gospel Artist Yannick Paul, he remembers the days when he would be front and center for the latest single from the Deejay. Life has changed since then, but he wants to share a story about his “Kvrtel CD“.

The story starts off in 2005 where a young Yannick Paul discovers a Vybz Kartel mixtape at a friend’s house. He would then steal it, and the story continues with him enjoying content from, and becoming a fan of a Dancehall Artist who would gradually become one of Jamaica’s top acts. During that time, Yannick was dealing with having a music career of his own, and a life that wasn’t Christlike. He admits that the music made an influence on his life then, and the same can be said for others, but things began to shift for him over the years, and life as a Christian took over, putting the Kartel music and influence on the back burner. He closes off his song with a message to Vybz Kartel, with the hopes that he gives a welcoming ear to it. “Kvrtel CD” is the follow up to “November“, which shares Yannick’s life changing story that happened over 10 years ago. 2025 will find him continuing to spread the word.
