One of dancehall’s most influential voices, Vybz Kartel, announces that Nigerian Afrobeats giant Wizkid, alongside Jamaican dancehall icons Mavado and Spice, will appear on his upcoming album God & Time, arriving June 5, 2026.
The newly revealed collaborators join previously announced features including Puerto Rican Latin superstar Farruko and Jamaican hitmakers Shenseea and Skillibeng, making God & Time one of the most globally expansive releases of Kartel’s career.
Bringing together artists from Jamaica, Nigeria, and Puerto Rico, the album blends dancehall, Afrobeats, Latin music, and contemporary Caribbean sounds into a project that reflects Kartel’s worldwide cultural reach and the evolving global influence of dancehall music.
One of the album’s big moments comes through the reunion of Vybz Kartel and Mavado — two artists whose rivalry defined dancehall throughout the 2000s during the infamous “Gaza vs. Gully” era. Their clashes, including legendary 2008 Sting Festival face-offs, became some of the most defining moments in modern Jamaican music culture. Their collaboration on God & Time signals a major reconciliation and symbolic new chapter for dancehall, arriving ahead of the pair’s highly anticipated Reggae Sumfest headlining appearance later this summer.
"I love the well-roundedness of this album, and the features reflect that. We wanted to give people a little bit of every vibe they want to hear this summer. No matter what mood you are in, there is something on here for you. And as you can see, some of the collaborations could only come together through God and Time," says Vybz Kartel.
Following back-to-back Grammy-nominated albums Party With Me (2024) and Heart & Soul (2025), Kartel now delivers his most personal and musically diverse project since his release from prison after 13 years. Inspired by the Jamaican phrase “God & Time,” the album reflects faith, survival, redemption, and creative rebirth.
Produced by longtime collaborator TJ Records alongside Kartel, God & Time reunites the team behind Viking (Vybz Is King) and King of the Dancehall, which featured the RIAA Gold-certified hit “Fever.” The album will be released via TJ Records / Vybz Kartel Muzik and distributed by Zojak World Wide. So far, Vybz Kartel has unveiled the album’s title track and “Panic” featuring Shenseea, the latter quickly building momentum across the diaspora as an early song-of-the-summer contender.
