ECNETNews, New York, NY, April 1, 2025: Renowned Dancehall artist Vybz Kartel is reflecting on a pivotal moment in his life with the release of his impactful new video, “God Is The Greatest” – a highlight from his anniversary album Viking (Vybz Is King): 10th Year Anniversary.
The evocative video, directed by AKA.RUPPI, showcases significant milestones in the Jamaican star’s inspiring comeback, from regaining his freedom to his celebrated return to Jamaica’s National Stadium. Set to an uplifting track produced by TJ Records and Adidjahiem Records, the video includes poignant scenes from his recent trip to Miami and features appearances by fellow icons—DJ Khaled and Bounty Killer—who have long supported the dancehall legend.
“God Is The Greatest” is one of seven new tracks featured on the 10th anniversary edition of Kartel’s 2015 Viking album, which was released on January 31, 2025. This updated collection also includes fan favorites like “Unstoppable,” “Gon Get Better” (notably sampled by a popular pop group), “Dancehall,” and “Enchanting.” New additions like “Porn Flick” featuring Ishawna, “Amout,” “Dreams Are Made Of,” “Polite,” “It A Tape,” and “Str8 Vybz,” named after Kartel’s new rum brand, further enrich the album.
Vybz Kartel’s latest release comes just ahead of a significant event—his return to the U.S. stage for the first time in over 20 years. The World Boss is set to headline two sold-out performances at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on April 11 and 12, marking a new chapter in his career and a full-circle moment for fans who have followed him since the early 2000s.
The beginning of 2025 has marked Kartel’s dynamic resurgence on the global stage. After the reinstatement of his U.S. and U.K. visas, he made a notable appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards, where he received his first-ever nomination for Best New Reggae Album and garnered the prestigious Impact Award at the MOBO Awards with a touching performance.
Following his shows in Brooklyn, Vybz Kartel will embark on a European summer tour, with scheduled performances at Germany’s SummerJam Festival and London’s Wireless Festival, solidifying his legacy as one of dancehall’s most influential artists.
With his new single proclaiming divine significance, it is evident that Kartel’s return is a powerful statement. His music and message are once again resonating on the global stage, making it clear that the “World Boss” is back—more focused and determined than ever.
