But as Kartel’s appearances on tracks such as Rihanna’s “What’s My Name” and Major Lazer’s “Pon de Floor” boosted his international profile, his troubles at home in Jamaica intensified, leading to his life imprisonment for a 2014 murder conviction. With his Auto-Tune-enhanced vocals and genius for hooks, Kartel put his own stamp on the hottest of riddims. He developed a reputation both for formidably fierce lyrical battles with rivals like Mavado and songs about sex and romance like “Romping Shop,” a steamy 2010 duet with Spice. After taking his more famous handle from the name of his early group, Vybz Cartel, and writing for Bounty Killer, Kartel scored many hits of his own through the 2000s. The fact that he’s continued to do it from behind prison bars is one of the many twists in a tumultuous saga that began in 1976, when the dancehall star was born Adidja Azim Palmer in the town of Portmore, Jamaica.

He continues to murder rhythms without a thought about crossing over, but when you rule the Jamaican dancehall why would you bother? He brings his usual gang to guest on the album with Bounty Killer, Wayne Marshall, Don Corleon, Baby G, Delicious and Barrington Levy on five of the 20 tracks. Vybz Kartel runs through some of the bigger rhythms of 2005 with funny and intelligent musings on all too common themes. The leadoff track "U Nuh Have a Phone (Hello Moto)" is a quirky dis about mobile communications and has that wonderful Jamaican sense of humor that is often so foreign to the American listener. that he brought to Timeless and Up 2 Di Time, and creates another set of raw dancehall tunes. To the initiated, these clichés may sound tired but Vybz Kartel bring the same intensity to J.M.T. The preeminent Jamaican DJ, Vybz Kartel rocks 20 more rhythms on his third album covering dancehall's holy trinity of guns, girls, and ganja.
