Vybz Kartel vs Worl’ Boss Party – Highlight and Photos

Despite being imprisoned for 35 years on a murder charge, Vybz Kartel has proven that he is the undisputed king of the dancehall.

This was evidently clear at Oniel’s Place on Hagley Park Road on Friday night when a massive crowd turned out to pay tribute to the dancehall icon at the event dubbed, ‘Vybz Kartel vs Worl’ Boss’.

The people came in droves and they made sure to make it known that ‘Addi the Teacha’ was truly the ‘World Boss’.

And ‘World Boss’ he was. The dancehall sensation has enough songs to last a whole night and another to boot. It was a whole night of Kartel – from ‘Up to di time’ to ‘Uheh Uheh’ and beyond – and there was no room for more. His lyrics and creativity was clearly evident and no one could argue that Vybz Kartel runs the street.

There were people in attendance from all age groups and walks of life, and the vibe was at fever pitch all night with juggling by Tony Matterhorn, Fire Links, Chromatic, Richie Feelings and Di Unit. Among those enjoying themselves at the ‘Gaza Party’ was the common law wife of the incarcerated deejay, Tanesha “Shorty” Johnson.

Vybz Kartel is the boss of the dancehall. Anything else is a lie.

TONY MATTERHORN GOT BASHED

It was a Vbyz Kartel-dedicated dance, but selector Tony Matterhorn did not stick thescript

Almost all songs had a Kartel flavour and the audience was very much in it, at the ‘Vybz Kartel vs Worl’ Boss’ party held at Oniel’s Place on Hagley Park Road on Friday night. They tooted their horns, flashed their lighters and broke out with wild abandon as the various selectors drew their Vbyz Kartel songs. To be true to the man, he has enough ‘chunes’ to last more than one night in the dance so there was no need for any other artistes to be featured.

But Tony Matterhorn decided to go against the grain and played a few selections from some other artistes. One selection in particular – Alkaline‘s Champion Boy – drew the ire of some members of the audience who berated him vociferously.

This did not go down well with the selector and he promptly took to the microphone and tongue lashed his detractors .

“Whappen to that if mi play some other artiste! Unnu go weh and low mi!” Matterhorn said in between expletives. “Mi ah play Kartel before nuff a unnu born!”

It all ended well, however, as the audience members were more interested in listening to their star’s many songs than sparring with a deflated Tony Matterhorn.
