"Me ready fi run you know!"
"My sleeping habits have changed if I hear a key shake, it traumatise me; the wardens would jingle them before a head count of prisoners."
"I understand what I'm going throug"
Vybz Kartel (Adidja Palmer) was incarcerated in Jamaica following conviction for the 2011 murder of Clive Lizard Williams and released in July after the UK Privy Council overturned the ruling. Kartel emerged in 2003 with the album Up 2 Di Time and pioneered a rapid-fire, gritty toasting vocal style influenced by DJs like Ninjaman, diverging from the mellifluous reggae of Bob Marley and Peter Tosh. Hits such as Romping Shop (2009), Clarks (2010), and Summer Time (2011) secured crossover success and a King of Dancehall reputation. Post-release, Kartel reports trauma-driven sleep disturbance, heightened startle responses to keys, heavy smoking and drinking as crutches, and a refusal of therapy.
