DETAILS: Vybz Kartel “No I Won’t Stop Bleaching”, Talks Betrayal

Kartel Forever: The Trilogy hit stores on September 24. The triple-disc album features new and previously recorded singles including “Benz Punany,” “Dancehall Hero,” and the smash new hit “School.”

According to Vybz Kartel, other artists have been copying his style since his emergence over a decade ago.

“Most artists since 2002 have been biting my style,” Vybz Kartel said. “Listen dancehall flow and vocabulary before Kartel’s emergence and listen it now, since I came. I set the new millennium benchmark for dancehall.”
