First of all let’s spell Vybz Kartel name right, please, once and for all! NOT Vibez Cartel as a lot of people still write it. He also goes under many names and akas. Let’s make some order in this confusion.

His real name is Adidja Azim Palmer but he’s also known as Addi Di Teacha, Gaza Emperor, Dancehall Hero and other names. He’s the founder and the Emperor of Portmore Empire and Gaza.

Jamaican dancehall reggae star Vybz Kartel begun his career as a teenager in 1993, with his first recording “Love Fat Woman”, his first single, released on Alvin Reid’s label “One Heart”, using the moniker “Adi Banton”, a homage to Buju Banton.

Mr Palmer was later part of the three-member group “Vybz Kartel”, kept the name after group split up, and became a protege of  Bounty Killer for whom he wrote around 30 songs, including “Gal Clown”.

He established his own label Adidjahiem Records and helped his business partner and producer Ainsley “Notnice” Morris. In 2010, he released his album Pon Di Gaza 2.0. on Adidjahiem/Notnice Records in collaboration with Tads Record Inc. One of his latest 2011 projects is –Kington’s Story with producer Dre Skull from BK, New York.

Kartel has worked on collaborations and remixes with Hip Hop and R&B musicians as Jay Z, Rihanna, Missy Elliot , M.I.A, Pharrell, Kardinal Offishal, Akon, and Jim Jones. After splitting with Bounty Killer led Alliance in 2006, Kartel founded the Portmore Empire, a group of Dancehall deejays and singers from his Portmore neighborhood that he signed to his newly founded Adidjahiem/Notnice Records.

Members of the group are:Popcaan, Shawn Storm, Jah Vinci, Vanessa Bling (Gaza Slim), Sheba , Indu, Merital, Tommy Lee, Singing Gaza Maxwell, Singa Blinga, Lenny Mattic, Doza Medicine.

In 2008, Vybz Kartel launched his own liquor line Street Vybz Rum. He hosts a weekly dance party Street Vybz Thursday, at the Building, New Kingston nightclub he manages with Street Vybz Rum business partner Corey Todd. The rum is officially distributed byVybz Distillers Limited.

In 2011 Kartel is planning to release his own shoe line (Addi’s) and his own line of skin care products, particularly Cake Soap, which is the topic of his 2010 hit single “Cake Soap”, where he professes that his skin is “cool like mi wash mi face with the cake soap.”

When his singles “Clarks”, “Clarks Again” and “Clarks 3 (Wear Weh Yuh Have)” featured the British shoe brand Clarks in 2010, its sales numbers and prices in Jamaica increased considerably.

Kartel has had several collaborations with international hip hop and pop stars. He has released two albums for the UK/US based label Greensleeves Records.

He was also nominated for the Source,Vibe and Uk Mobo Awards, although his 2004 UK MOBO award nomination was withdrawn amidst controversy over allegedly homophobic content of his lyrics.

2010 was a good year for Jamaican song writer, producer, singer, deejay Vybz Kartel: he got several solid recognitions from the industry such as Male DJ of the Year, Lyricist/Songwriter of the Year for EME Awards, Recording Artist of the Year, WBLS Caribbean Artist of the Year, Nominated by the MOBO Awards and Soul Train Awards for Reggae Artist of the Year; as well released mad hits and produced incredible talented artists from Portmore.
