Vybz Kartel and I have been working on an album for the last 6 months and we’re finally getting close to a finished product. For now, get an early preview of one of the tracks in the background of the above video. Also, check out Kartel’s two part interview with MTV UK where he talks about writing lyrics, borrowing from Ne-Yo, collaborating with Mavado and his upcoming Mixpak album.
MTV: Can we expect a follow-up album to ‘Pon Di Gaza 2.0’?
Vybz Kartel: Yeah, we’ve got a record that we’re working on for next year with Dre Skull from Mixpak records. He’s this white kid from New York that builds some sick beats. So next year me and him – Adidjaheim records/Mixpak records – it’s going to be for April. We haven’t even started the promotion for the album yet. It’s going to be like 14 exclusive tracks.
Atlanta-based rapper Lil Scrappy was an integral part of the crunk movement from the very beginning, appearing on seminal hits such as No Problem, Knuck If You Buck, Neva Eva, Gangsta Gangsta and Money In The Bank. On his new Dre Skull-produced single, Look At Me, Scrappy is back with a hard, existential club banger that’s sure to induce scrunch-face. To top it off, we got Pen and Pixel for the cover art.
Out now on iTunes, Juno and other fine digital retailers. Super limited edition vinyl coming soon. Also, grab a Pen and Pixel x Lil Scrappy t-shirt while you’re at it.
The new issue of XLR8R magazine has a nice profile on me and Mixpak as part of their Labels We Love coverage.
Not since the days of Bobby Konders’ and Kenny “Dope” Gonzalez’s ragga-hip-hop hybrids of the early to mid-’90s has the US-Jamaica bashment connection seemed so energized as it does with Brooklyn producer Dre Skull’s Mixpak label.
