Incarcerated World Boss Vybz Kartel has a new hard hitting music single, paired with a new official music video, titled “Turn Off The Light”, featuring recording artist Petra.
Petra is a Kenyan female rapper and the first ever African female artist to be featured in a collab with the King Of Dancehall himself.
Petra, real name Yolanda Sonia Bockle, is a rapper, songwriter and singer of Kenyan and Seychellois descent. She is known for using both Swahili and English in her rhymes, switching back and forth.
She mentioned 2Pac, Eminem, MC Lyte and Lil’ Kim as her musical inspirations. Add now Vybz Kartel to the list.
While Vybz Kartel had already collaborated with male African artists, like with WIzkid, this is the first time ever he collaborates with an African female artist. You know Vybz Kartel is always up to the time!
Since Kartel is still behind bars in his native Jamaica, the two artists never met in person yet, but they exchanged and reciprocated respects and praises to each others via IG in the weeks ahead of the new single release.
Now they are both following each others on the Gram and Petra declared he has been giving her great motivation and inspiration.
“The WORLD BOSS just followed me and this has given me such a motivational boost even though sometimes I feel like I’m not good enough.
Real recognize real!! So next time you call yourself or someone else a boss just because of their status quo feel free to come back to this post to verify that.” Petra wrote in her account.
Vybz Kartel, who is very popular in Africa and especially in Kenya, starts his verse in their tune praising all the Kenyan ladies.
The response of fans and the public has been amazing so far, with fans of both artist going hard to it and with several Kenyan celebrities also expressing massive support and praises to Petra for this milestone in her music career.
A song with World Boss, the King Of The Dancehall, is a great achievement for any artist and will bring this young talented female singer a great global exposure to the huge Kartel’s fan base.
Their single is bouncy, sexy, catchy and honestly one of the best collaboration yet released in the current year with a female artist, since Petra shines of her own light and she is a skilled artist to keep an eye on.
