Vybz Kartel Fans Cries For His Release From Prison

up-coming media personality Chiney K on her ‘On My Mind’ web series decided to visit Jamaica to hear from true dance-hall fans on what they had to say about the now incarcerated ‘Worl Boss’, Vybz Kartel.

Despite being locked up for so long, Kartel remains one of the most influential figures in Jamaican culture and beyond. Although he delivered few performances overseas due to travel bans that prevented him from entering certain countries, he is famous enough around the world to grab the attention of many international superstars who collaborated with the imprisoned artiste.

Kartel’s musical track record and the endless controversies he’s been embroiled in, from the Gaza vs Gully (Mavado) feud to his XXX-rated lyrics to the skin bleaching, have made him something of a worldwide obsession. Not only the biggest dancehall artist of the last five years, he’s also the genre’s biggest worldwide celebrity. He reached new heights when he took dancehall to an international level on collaborative tracks with Rihanna and Major Lazer.
