We’re more than excited to announce a new Dre Skull produced Vybz Kartel album for release in spring 2011! Here’s a little video of the ‘dancehall hero’ himself telling you how good it’s going to be (with back-up from producer Not Nice and a sneak preview of one of the tracks in the background).
Vybz is very rarely interviewed, but Marvin Sparks at MTV UK has just put out this brilliant two parter (read part one here and part two here) where Kartel talks about writing lyrics, borrowing from Ne-Yo, collaborating with Mavado and, of course, some words on the Mixpak album:
MTV: Can we expect a follow-up album to ‘Pon Di Gaza 2.0’?
Vybz Kartel: Yeah, we’ve got a record that we’re working on for next year with Dre Skull from Mixpak records. He’s this white kid from New York that builds some sick beats. So next year me and him – Adidjaheim records/Mixpak records – it’s going to be for April. We haven’t even started the promotion for the album yet. It’s going to be like 14 exclusive tracks.
Yep, 14 exclusive tracks! More info coming soon!
