Of all the nicknames and AKAs in the world of music, is there a better one than "World Boss"? I recently visited Gaza City in Portmore, Jamaica, where the World Boss, AKA Vybz Kartel, AKA Adidja Palmer, is the landlord/lord of the manor of rows of houses, many of which are decorated with murals of his divine countenance. While he awaits trial on a murder charge in the Horizon Adult Remand Centre, Kartel's crew of ghetto youths run/self-police the area, and where epic dancehall anthems like this echo up and down the alleyways all day long. The atmosphere is heavy, romantic and dangerous, just like this.
