Marvin Sparks speaks to Vybz Kartel fans special

Well, if you've been following either myslef or Kartel on Twitter you would have seen the tweet (copied from Kartel's twitter) @iamthekartel: "#AWOAH RT @MarvinSparks @iamthekartel bless up king. People talking about your interview already. Wait til the rest drops. Oh!" [source]

Tweet was after I read discussions about our interview on various dancehall forums.

This is the rest... Hear him speak on:
  • Why he hasn't fired a diss back in response to Aidonia's diss records (Nuh Par Wid and Nuh Tek Chat) and why there's a problem between them
  • What he thinks of Busy Signal and whether they'll ever work together
  • If we'll hear Vybz Kartel work with producer Stephen "Di Genius" McGregor (build the riddims for Come Breed Me, Bicycle/Mr Officer and many more) and what their problem is
  • Does he have any hate for Bounty Killer
  • His only regret as a dancehall artist
  • Plans to exploit controversy of cake soap and why he uses it
And some other stuff. This is the 3rd installment. The previous 2 were on MTV.co.uk/TheWrapUp (part 1 & part 2). No talk on Beenie Man because this was before, plus the Beenie Man stuff has been covered by dancehall people bigger than me. Think that's pretty much sorted. But what he says about Dancehall Hero in the interview kinda sums that up too prior to it happening.

Sadly, he won't be performing at Sting tonight (wasn't booked). But anyway, for your listening pleasure (click here for all my other interviews)

Also, Tads Records, who released Pon Di Gaza 2.0, just released a new EP of Kartel's biggest hits of 2010. It's called

Clarks: De Mixtape Raw , it was released on December 10th, and it's available on itunes now:

Disclaimer: I asked these questions as a fan for the fans. We all want to hear Kartel on Stephen riddims, Aidonia is probably the only lyricist that will manage Kartel in a clash, and people due to my most recent interview with Busy Signal a lot of people speculated that he has a big problem with Kartel so I tried to mediate. So don't shoot the messenger lol. Bless
