Chronixx is perhaps the first reggae artist out to openly criticized Vybz Kartel influenced and impact on dancehall music.
Kartel, who is currently incarcerated, is arguably the most popular
artist in Jamaica over the last decade. But Chronixx, who is another
rising star in reggae music, is not a fan of the former Portmore Empire
leader’s often controversial lyrics.
The outspoken conscious singer appeared on Noisey’s recent episode
aired on Tuesday night, where he opened up about violence in Jamaican
music, singling out Vybz Kartel as the main contributor and labeling him
as a “cannibal.”
“Vybz Kartel himself has done a lot of good things in life, I must
say,” Chronixx said. “Gangsterism, cannibalism… because Vybz Kartel
overtime became a cannibal. When you listen to his music it is very
cannibalistic. It became so pleasant to the human that there is a thing
within us that crazes chopping up people and beheading people and cut
out a man inside.”
Vybz Kartel was convicted
of murder in 2014 for the death of his associate Clive “Lizard”
Williams. A voicenote from the deejay’s Blackberry phone served as key
evidence where he allegedly discussed chopping up Lizard in small pieces
and disposed of his remains at sea.
Williams’ body has still not being found and cops seems to have given up hopes of finding it.
Kartel, real name Adidja Palmer, his protege Shawn “Storm” Campbell, Andre St John, and Kahira Jones were all sentenced to life with hard labor in a maximum security prison.
The dancehall star is appealing the conviction.

Vybz Karter is world boss even here in Canada yes he sings about violence canibalism and what not but Vybz sings what his fallow erstwhile (fans) want what they request to hear just because things are said in his music does not mean he is in fact a person who does this stuff or even believes in it just look at the rest of the world and what they sing I don't hear anything about them just people trying to bring down Adidja Palmer who is in jail for something even people who don't care or even like his music will say that the courts were corrupt and it was a unfair trial where he was found guilty before he even had any chance to step in the court room but a side from that he has done a lot of good as well don't hear anyone talking about that only what people think he has done wrong so perhaps know your facts before running bad mind talk seen Jah bless Adidja world boss Palmer a soon big man will be free and then we will see man a man ting so I say again Jah Bless my prayers go with you and keep you head up as man a bad mind no matter who you are.
