    The Werlboss isn’t available for video shoots these days so DJ Power came up with a creative solution for the visuals on their collabo, “Makeup.” Earlier last month, Power spoke about getting the chance to work with Vybz just before his arrest. Doing their best to capture the song’s electro-pop feel, the video follows the tune’s story-line with some drawn-in dancing and flashing lights. Still trying to figure out why the dude this lady escapes from looks so much like Kanye West. Video After The Jump…

These are just a few of the many ups and downs The Banton has faced.

    The wait is still not over. After being ordered to wait until the new year to commence his trial, The Werlboss now faces another setback. We’re starting to get the feeling that the court is not in any hurry to see this trial go forward. On Monday, officials at Kingston’s Home Circuit Court placed another postponement on Vybz Kartel’s trial date—the second one put into effect since last November. The reasons for yet another delay? “Insufficient jurors.” But Kartel isn’t letting the politricks get to him. Read More After the Jump (more…)
