Fresh off two historic back-to-back, sold-out performances at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, Jamaican dancehall legend Vybz Kartel is heading to Sunrise, Florida for a massive show at the Amerant Bank Arena on May 17 at 8 PM. And if Brooklyn was any indication, South Florida fans are in for an unforgettable night.

Kartel’s return to the U.S. stage – after more than 20 years – was made possible by the reinstatement of his U.S. visa earlier this year, and he’s wasted no time reminding the world why he’s still the undisputed World Boss of dancehall.

The Brooklyn concerts, presented by Reggae Fest on April 11 and 12, pulled over 40,000 fans and sent social media into a frenzy. Fans were treated to a catalogue of bangers, from “Fever” and “Clarks” to “Summertime,” “Rompin Shop,” and his fiery new anthem “God Is the Greatest.”

The energy? Electric. The vibes? Unmatched.

Friday night lit up with surprise appearances by Jah Vinci, Black Ryno, Rvssian, Busta Rhymes, and Spice, while stars like Cardi B and Buju Banton looked on from the audience. Saturday amped things up with Ghanaian breakout Moliy, dancehall hitmaker Shenseea, and lyrical dynamo Skillibeng shaking the stage. A now-viral moment saw Spice recreate her infamous towel-clad serenade of Kartel, setting social feeds ablaze.

Even Ne-Yo, Fabolous, Lil’ Kim, YG Marley, Ishawna, Chronic Law, Kraff, and Kranium stepped in, proving this wasn’t just a show – it was history.

“This was an emotional and amazing night—something I’ve dreamed of,” said Kartel. “Being back felt like a full-circle moment. I had to pinch myself. I’m deeply grateful for my fans and everyone behind the scenes.”

South Florida fans will now get their chance to experience the magic. Kartel’s May 17th performance at the Amerant Bank Arena is produced by Mateo Productions/5 Star Entertainment Group, Live Nation, and Monami Productions.

The Florida stop is part of Kartel’s global Freedom Street tour, which kicked off with a sold-out homecoming show in Kingston, Jamaica, and includes appearances at the 2025 Grammy Awards, the MOBO Awards in the UK—where Kartel received the Impact Award – and upcoming performances at Germany’s SummerJam Festival, (July 4–6), London’s Wireless Festival, (July 13), alongside Drake, Burna Boy, and Summer Walker, and two nights in Malta this September.

With each appearance, Vybz Kartel proves that his reign is far from over – it’s only getting stronger. Check tickets HERE

Ky-Mani Marley Shares Soulful New Single From Upcoming Album

News Americas, New York, NY, April 19, 2025: Grammy-nominated reggae artist Ky-Mani “Maestro” Marley is once again capturing hearts and ears with the release of his latest single, “All This Love,” the third track from his highly anticipated upcoming album Love & Energy. Now streaming on all major platforms via Konfrontation Muzik Group/Dubshot Records, the track delivers a soulful celebration of divine love, faith, forgiveness, and unity.

With his signature raspy vocal warmth, Marley glides over a breezy, horn-rich reggae rhythm, co-produced alongside Grammy-winning musician Llamar “Riff Raff” Brown — known for his work with the likes of Nas & Damian Marley, Stephen Marley, and Busy Signal.

The lush instrumentation — from delicate flutes to melodic guitars — sets the stage for a powerful lyrical call to collective healing:

“So let’s shine our lights together
So that we can heal
So the world can feel
All of this love
Jah give me all this love.”

The official music video for “All This Love,” also released April 18th, is a visual meditation directed by Ky-Mani himself. Filmed in a verdant forest bathed in sunlight, the video mirrors the track’s spiritual tone and message of quiet gratitude and introspection.

“’All This Love’ echoes what I carry within — born of struggle, anchored in faith, and transformed into grace through my surrender to Jah,” shared Marley. “Now I share it and let it breathe life and one’s own interpretation.”

“All This Love” follows the success of Marley’s recent singles, including “New Creature,” which topped the Jamaican charts, and “Love & Energy,” the upcoming album’s title track, released earlier this year.

The son of reggae icon Bob Marley and Jamaican table tennis champion Anita Belnavis, Ky-Mani Marley has carved out his own lane in music and film. From his 1996 debut Like Father Like Son to his acclaimed 2015 album Maestro, his sound blends reggae, hip-hop, and soul. Beyond music, Marley starred in cult classics like Shottas and One Love, and has collaborated with global artists such as Farruko, Dirty Heads, Pitbull, and Big Kenny of Big & Rich. In 2024, he toured with his brothers on the Marley Brothers North American Legacy Tour, further cementing his place in the family’s musical legacy.

With Love & Energy on the horizon, Ky-Mani “Maestro” Marley continues to inspire a new generation with his message of spiritual resilience, unity, and love.
