In fact, a snap shot today of the iTunes Reggae charts around the globe, shows that Vybz Kartel new album is the only Dancehall Album from a Jamaican based Dancehall artist to be listed prominently on any of the main charts.

This is despite the fact that his incarceration limited the pre-promotion of the album, he got no exposure from the recent BET Awards Dancehall Segment and politicians in Jamaica are currently tabling a Bill in Parliament to criminalize his music and the music of his counterparts.

“We were ready to do a massive International launch but when we launched the book last year, we had four spontaneous visits from the police ready to shut down, of all things, a quiet peaceful book launch and book reading in an intimate setting”.

This is despite the launch being done on private property, on a Saturday afternoon with no alcohol, loud music or violence,”

Explained Michael Dawson of Whirlwind Records who managed the project for Kartel.

“The actions of the police proved to be disruptive so we did not want to make the media, fans, sound people etc. uncomfortable again, hence, a public launch for the CD was scrapped.

We are representing Vybz Kartel so we are prepared for these things but we did not want to subject others to that harassment. “

Certainly, with such a strong entry into the Reggae Charts, the new Kartel‘s CD will be one of Dancehall’s hottest sellers in history.

However, another executive at Whilrwind Records admits that they have not scratched the surface of their marketing as this CD is geared for mainstream charts globally.

Whirlwind Records believes that the world is curious about the “real” Jamaica and the CD “Voice of the Jamaican Ghetto” tells that story narrated in song by its greatest story teller in recent years – Vybz Kartel.

Kartel’s CD also has uniquely commentary on each song by one of Jamaica’s most learned scholars immaculately placed in short interludes in between songs.

With that CD having so much to offer, look for Voice of the Jamaican Ghetto to climb the mainstream charts very soon.
