Dancehall superstar Vybz Kartel has made a powerful return to the music scene with the release of his new single, The Comet, marking his first song since his release from prison. Produced under his own label, Vybz Kartel Muzik, the track debuted alongside its official video, which premiered moments ago on YouTube.
Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, has been making headlines since his release from the Tower Street Adult Correctional Facility on July 31, 2024. His freedom came after the Court of Appeal ruled against retrying him and his co-accused for murder, following the quashing of their previous conviction by the Privy Council in the United Kingdom.
In addition to his musical release, Kartel is gearing up for a monumental return to the stage. On December 31, 2024, the dancehall icon will headline Freedom Street, a historic concert to be held at the National Stadium in Jamaica. This will be his first live performance in over 13 years, a highly anticipated event for fans who have been waiting for more than a decade to see the legendary artiste back in action.
Vybz Kartel’s return marks a significant moment in dancehall history, as he reclaims his place at the top of the genre, and The Comet sets the tone for what promises to be a dynamic new chapter in his career.
