Vybz Kartel’s Highly Anticipated Return to the Stage

A Legendary Celebration Awaits

Vybz Kartel’s highly anticipated return to the stage at Freedom Street is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about events of the year.

At the official launch event held in Kingston last Wednesday, Josef Bogdanovich, CEO of Downsound Entertainment, dubbed the upcoming celebration as “the dawn of something truly legendary.”

“On December 31, we’re making history,” Bogdanovich declared. “It’s not just about the comeback; it’s about the passion, energy, and unstoppable spirit Kartel brings. This will be a New Year’s celebration like no other, showing Jamaica and the world that with Kartel and Downsound Entertainment, everything is possible.”

A Star-Studded Lineup and Reunion

At the press conference, stakeholders gave fans a sneak peek of what to expect, including superstar guest appearances and a massive “Gaza” reunion.

Vybz Kartel already revealed an all-star line-up for the event, including Spice, Skillibeng, and his sons Likkle Vybz and Likkle Addi. He also took to social media to confirm that some of the biggest names from his former Portmore Empire crew, such as Popcaan, Tommy Lee Sparta, Shawn Storm, Sheba, Lisa Hyper, and Gaza Indu, will be part of the show.

The renowned camp also once featured artists like Gaza Slim, Gaza Kim, Blak Ryno, and Jahvinchi, though it’s still unclear whether they will be performing at the concert.

Portmore Empire was a groundbreaking dancehall collective by Vybz Kartel, known for launching the careers of several top Jamaican dancehall artists. The group, marred by controversy and internal feuds, was disbanded in 2012.
