Di Teacha

Since today is Adidja "Vybz Kartel" Palmer's (one of Dancehall's biggest artists) birthday, I thought I should do a special post for him. Sting (one of Jamaica's biggest events for Dancehall performers) was not a big success in December 2010 because of the absence of Vybz Kartel and Movado. During Sting 2008, Kartel, a Gaza representative, battled Movado, a Gully representative, and due to Movado rushing away from the stage, Kartel saw him as even more of a coward. Vybz Kartel took this event and ran with it by coming out with a song called Don't Run (Last Man Standing).





There are so many feuds in the Dancehall industry and Kartel says that he didn't show up to the event because he feared for his life. The fear had nothing to do with Movado but with a former officer names Liang.

Kartel says that his nice skin and complexion is due to the cake soap that he uses...haha. I can vouch for greatness of cake soap. As a person who uses cake soap, I think I have pretty good skin. The problem that everyone has with Kartel's cake soap is that it seems to make him lighter...

His songs are so creative and I think he is one of Jamaica's best Dancehall artists.

Here is an interview where he discusses the issue of Sting 2010 and his upcoming plans...

Bring Your Mattress!

This isn't a new song but it's still good. It's one of Major Lazer's interesting music videos that features Skerrit Bwoy. I was thinking the other day that Nina Sky hasn't done much in a while but I forgot about this song.   The video is a little awkward though...



Major Lazer is pretty awesome. I was watching a couple of videos and Skerrit Bwoy is a great hype man...a bit wreckless...but he knows how to work a crowd.



I can't believe that this guy who was born in Tupelo, Mississippi and grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is taking over the Dancehall scene.
