Video: Vybz Kartel Is Still Angwi
- story Felipe Delerme
Vybz Kartel telling Bounty Killer what he can and cannot do with his own tongue can only mean one of two things, ultimately. Kartel is extremely concerned with his former mentor and current enemy’s oral hygiene, or, ITS GOING DOWN AT STING THIS YEAR. Last year’s clash between Kartel and Mavado extinguished the Gully God’s angst altogether, steering him to new heights of positivity, Mavado only using his tropical howl to serenade if not inspire the youth. Kartel, however, who some have begun to label a bully, remains hungry like the wolf, and as of late has been showing his teeth to Killer directly. What most ignore in their condemnation of Kartel though is that to bully successfully, you do have to be stronger than everyone else. In brighter Kartel news, a DJ named I.V. slapped a Vybz Kartel verse pon 50’s new single and it sounds better than it ever could have without Kartel telling his lady, “shift yuh panties partially.” Have baby by Vybz baby, be a gaza girl.

Video: Mavado Documentary
- story THE FADER
Pieces of this have been floating around as part of VP Records’ “Dancehall Draft Picks” video series, but this the full 12-minute mini-doc about Mavado, featuring studio sessions with Busy Signal and Daseca, live footage with Bounty Killer and a little kid singing “Weh Dem A Do.” Highly watchable and giving us hope that the November release date for Mr. Brooks: A Better Tomorrow is not a total fabrication.
Freeload: Bounty Killer, “War Bridge” (prod Stephen “Di Genius” McGregor)

Now that “A Millie” has gone gold with shitty versions, we are looking for the next beat that everyone will jump on, a beat we will not get sick of until it reaches the absolute depths of unnecessity. “War Bridge” might be that, at least in JA. Stephen “di genius” McGregor throws the kitchen sink at it, building from snaps to trance bounce to minimal synth, and Bounty Killer sets the bar expectedly high. Hopefully, we’ll see the rest of the Alliance jump on this real soon followed by the rest of Jamaica soon thereafter. Feel free to let us know if there’s another “Millie” out there waiting to happen.
