Canadian rapper Drake is the latest to voice his support for incarcerated Dancehall star Vybz Kartel, as Gaza fans eagerly await the Jamaica Court of Appeal's decision on a possible retrial after his conviction was overturned last month.

On Tuesday (April 2), the Passionfruit rapper showed support for Kartel by boasting his very own "Free Kartel" t-shirt with his 146 million Instagram followers.

The shirt, which was hung up on display during a studio session, shows an illustration of Kartel sitting like royalty on a throne with a barely clad female perched at his feet. The slogans, "Free Kartel", "Free World Boss," and "Up 2 Di Time" are also printed on the front - the latter was the name of Kartel's 2003 debut album, which gave us early classics such as Sen On, New Millennium, Sweet To The Belly, Pv$$y Jaw, Why You Doing It, Buss It Off among others

Jamaican dancehall artist Vybz Kartel''s conviction for murder has been overturned.The 48-year-old was given a life sentence in 2014 for the killing of Clive "Lizard" Williams on the Caribbean island.His successful appeal, heard by the Privy Council in London, argued that a juror accused of trying to bribe others should have been thrown off his trial.Authorities in Jamaica will decide whether the case should be retried.The musician, real name Adidja Palmer, is one of the country''s most popular artists and has collaborated with performers such as Jay-Z and Rihanna.His 64-day trial was one of the longest in Jamaican history, and ended with Kartel being ordered to serve a minimum of 35 years in jail.This was later reduced to 32-and-a-half years.The trial heard that victim Clive Williams and another man, Lamar Chow, were given two unlicensed firearms belonging to Kartel for safekeeping

Sean Paul's 2016 song No Lie with English singer Dua Lipa surpassed 1 billion plays on Spotify on Friday (October 6).

This marks his first billion-play track as a lead artist on Spotify, and the fifth Jamaican-led song overall to hit this milestone on the platform.

Paul told DancehallMag that he's humbled by the career achievement. "I've always tried to emulate the greats in the genre. We all learn from our elders. So all I can say is thank you to them for showing me the way. And thanks to the fans, it is really humbling," he said.

Clean Bandit's Rockabye (2018), on which he was featured alongside Anne-Marie, is currently at 1.4 billion plays on Spotify, while his solo hits
Temperature (2005) and Get Busy (2002) are at 712 million and 449 million plays, respectively

Bounty Killer has voiced concern about the quality of the mixing and production of much of the new music being recorded in Jamaica and the mushrooming of "disposable" songs.

Speaking in an interview on CVM Television on Wednesday morning, about his new collaborative Time Bomb EP with producer Dave Kelly and fellow artist Cham, Bounty said it was time for Dancehall to rise to the occasion, especially in light of widespread talk, that the genre is 'leaning on death's door'.

"At this stage of the game, we have to move to another level. Because we are having a lot of disposable music, and people are saying the music deteriorating, and we don't have a stance on the global stage anymore and Afrobeats take Dancehall
spot... We have to make our presence felt right
now. We need to step up to the plate," the Warlord

In October last year, producer JonFX had argued that the advent of the internet had caused experienced producers to be excluded from the music production process, which, in turn, has led to the songs coming out of Jamaica, for the most part being sub-par.

"Social media gave us a lot of ego. That's one. There was a time when artiste use to be humble, wait at the studio. Now you have a guy send them a speaker with a laptop, they have a studio. That's another issue that we have. We have to get into the humility," he said.

The award-winning producer's comments had come while discussing the state of Jamaican music production, in an interview with veteran entertainment journalist Anthony Miller on Television Jamaica's The Entertainment Report, this after Miller suggested that "new artistes will tell you they not going back to where the producers call the shots and tell us what to do."

Having mastered the Jamaican music market, Shenseea is focused on finding the missing link that will make her career take off in the United States.

Speaking to fans on Instagram on Sunday, the Blessed singer opened up about starting a new chapter, from immigrating to the US to changing her sound.

"If I''m uncomfortable doing it, then I''m not gonna do it, but once I feel like I have the potential to do it and I sound great, then I''m gonna do it because I''m really trying to find my lane right now," she shared. "I mean, I know who I am and I know what I stand for, but when it comes on to my sound, yeah, I wanna change it. I''m trying to find the sound that complements me perfectly."

It''s a portrait she''s been painting since before the release of her debut album Alpha in 2022. The project, a melting pot of dancehall, hip hop, R&B, reggae and pop, peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart. It was also the second best-selling album by a Jamaican artist that year, copping 63,000 units in combined sales and streams in The States, according to data provided to DancehallMag from Billboard''s sales tracker Luminate
