Listen to ‘The Kartel 100’ Playlist on Apple Music + Pandora 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

The well that is Vybz Kartel‘s music catalog is practically bottomless. Well over 1,000 tracks deep, the World Boss’ ouevre has more than doubled in the nine years since he has  arrested on a marijuana bust and subsequently charged with two separate murders. It’s an astounding figure that speaks to his complicated legacy as one of the most confounding and prolific living artists in any genre.

Kartel’s discography is remarkably broad and diverse for an artist who essentially operates in a single genre — dancehall. It’s a tall order even for dedicated fans to parse through, and make sense of it all. While some regard him as a sex- and violence-obsessed vulgarian, others rightly recognize him as a musical chameleon who’s as skilled at crafting soap opera-like romantic sagas as he is at spinning hard-hitting cultural critiques.

After encountering some misguided assessments of his catalog on social media recently, we wanted to make a playlist that would express the full breadth of Di Teacha’s catalog while offering an an illuminating and invigorating listen for everyone from Day 1 fans to newcomers who just learned about “Fever.” So we’ve gathered the essential classics, lost hits and deep cuts, going from Kartel’s days with Bounty Killer all of the way up to his latest release, Of Dons and Divas.

Stream The Kartel 100 now on Apple Music and Pandora, featuring original artwork by Robin Clare.
