Vybz Kartel reveals “God & Time” as title of upcoming dancehall album
Vybz Kartel has made a triumphant return to the music scene with the announcement of his upcoming album ‘God & Time.’ Set to release on June 5 through TJ Records and Vybz Kartel Muzik, the album is already generating buzz with a new video for the title track and collaborations with artists like Shenseea, Skillibeng, and Farruko.
After spending over a decade behind bars, Vybz Kartel was released in 2024 following the collapse of a murder case against him. Since then, the dancehall artist has been on a mission to make up for lost time. From headlining Kingston’s Freedom Street concert to appearing at Drake’s Wireless Festival and embarking on his Worl’ Boss Tour, Kartel has been relentless in his pursuit of musical success.
The album title ‘God & Time’ holds special meaning for Kartel. He explained that the phrase has been a common slang term in Jamaica since his childhood and that his lawyer often used it during his time in prison. This phrase ultimately became a source of motivation for Kartel, inspiring him to believe in himself and take control of his life.
The energy and charisma that have defined Kartel’s music are still present in ‘God & Time,’ but with a renewed sense of focus and purpose. Kartel promises fans a fresh flow and impressive lyrics, along with surprise features that will be revealed upon the album’s release.
Even during his incarceration, Vybz Kartel continued to release music, maintaining a legendary status in dancehall culture. Hits like “Fever,” “Clarks,” and “Summer Time” have solidified his influence in the genre, ensuring that his legacy endures.
With the upcoming release of ‘God & Time,’ Vybz Kartel is poised to reclaim his position as one of dancehall’s most iconic figures. The album not only signifies his triumphant return but also serves as a testament to his resilience and unwavering dedication to his craft. Fans can expect nothing short of greatness from the Worl’ Boss as he once again takes the music world by storm.
