Vybz Kartel Latest News & Music August 2022

There is a short video circulating since yesterday with Busta Rhymes and Kanye West talking on the phone to Gaza General Vybz Kartel.

This past Thursday night, Busta Rhymes, who is of Jamaican origins, shared news that Kanye West was on the phone with the Teacha!

Vybz Kartel, real name Adidja Palmer, is still currently incarcerated in Kingston, Jamaica, while awaiting the outcome of his appeal at the UK Privy Council in England, still in motion, read it here.

The Gaza founder is serving a 30+ years following the life in prison sentence for the alleged murder of Clive Lizard Williams, whom body was never found.

Busta Rhymes link with Addi goes way back, he has been recording music with Kartel since more than a decade ago, we were one of the first and few outlets to report on their studio session here, back in 2010.

Busta Rhymes has never been shy of showing his support for of Vybz Kartel since the artist’s incarceration, attending his trial in Jamaica and releasing several singles with the incarcerated dancehall superstar, with “Don & The Boss” being the latest of a list that includes also “Girlfriend” Ft Tory Lanez, and even a tune with Kartel, Busta & T-Pain, visiting him in jail and always advocating for his freedom.

In the short video shared on Thursday, Busta is walking down a street with with Kanye West. Kanye is speaking on a phone, laughing and being at ease.

While Kanye is on the phone, Busta Rhymes jokes to him asking to speak patois while on the phone with Vybz Kartel. “Kanye me want yuh inna Jamaican accent,” Busta Rhymes is heard saying, while Kanye laughs and continues speaking on.

Kanye West is also a big fan of dancehall music and has already worked with several dancehall acts and sampled several classics in the genre. In his latest and popular 2021 album, Donda, he included two collabs with Dancehall sensation Shenseea, launched to stardom by Vybz Kartel’s single “Loodi”. 

Is this hint to a possible collaboration between Kanye & Vybz Kartel?

“Coming with some disrespectful Jamaican accents talking to Vybz Kartel… Man, I just wana send you some love bruh… sh*t out here working on this joint,” Kanye says to the Jamaican dancehall GOAT.

“The Worl’Boss @vybzkartel & kanyewest speaks!! By way of the [dragon],” Busta Rhymes captioned the video.

It’s unclear if Vybz Kartel was indeed on the other end of the phone, as shortly later Kanye is heard calling the other person on the phone call by the name “Nick” and as some fans commented the video seems an old one based on the type of phones the two artists are holding.

But any how as you can see Vybz Kartel is pretty popular and always in the news and new music has been uploaded to his Youtube channel today, titled “No Matter”.

The song has an old classic mad flavor to it with the intro going “no matter what the people say I smoke weed everyday” listen below.
