Dancehall “Worl Boss” Vybz Kartel says his musical goal is to help restore dancehall to sustained international prominence similar to other major genres.

“My goal right now is to take over back dancehall, bring dancehall back pon a level internationally,” he said during an interview with the popular Caribbean online channel Whattyuhknow”.

“..where we see reggaeton is now, where we see Afrobeat that is the goal to get it back to the hay day of dancehall,” he added.

Kartel, who has been a dominant force within the dancehall space since his return to freedom last May, with a handful of notable trending releases, including two charting drops- “The Comet” and “Str8 Vybz.”

The “Fever” hitmaker, who successfully headlined his ‘welcome home’ concert-Freedom Street on New Year’s Eve, has received a wave of international support for performances as well as potential collaborations.

Rap superstars Cardi B and Drake are among two of the major reveals for features set for release soon by the former Portmore Empire “Principal” as he continues to rack up bookings across Europe and the Caribbean with a petition for his entry into the US, currently in progress ahead of the February Grammy Awards.

Kartel is among the nominees for “The Best Reggae Album” for his project -“Come Party With Me”.
