Adidja Palmer is Dancehall’s one‐man cartel—a razor‐sharp lyricist with the type of style, delivery, and dexterity that made him an instant success; a keen business man that has launched several successful brands; and the leader of one of the Dancehall industry’s most powerful troupe of formidable talent. Over the past nine years, Palmer has made an indelible mark on Jamaica’s wildly popular urban music landscape as the indomitable Vybz Kartel.
Since his initial introduction as a deejay in 2002, Kartel quickly established himself as one of the most domineering talents in Dancehall. That same year he was crowned Deejay of the Year at the Stone Love 30th Anniversary celebration. In 2003, he nearly topped the Billboard Reggae Chart for the most singles sold, coming in second to Elephant Man. He has released five albums: Up 2 Di Time (Greensleeves; 2003); More Up 2 Di Time (Greensleeves; 2004); Timeless (Greensleeves; 2004); JMT (Greensleeves; 2006); and The Teacher’s Back (released independently; 2008).

His latest album Pon Di Gaza, released in late September 2009, is his debut album on his newly established label Adidjahiem/Notnice Records.
Crossover singles like “Tekk,” “Gun Session,” and “Ramping Shop” have earned Kartel international recognition, in addition to collaborations and remixes with Hip Hop and R&B stalwarts like Jay‐Z, Rihanna, Missy Elliot, M.I.A, Pharrell, Kardinal Offishal, Akon, and Jim Jones. In recent years, he has been nominated for Source, VIBE, and MOBO awards. In 2009, Kartel has had six number one singles in Jamaica: “Last Man Standing;” “Million By A Morning;” “Ramping Shop” featuring Spice; “Mama;” “Dollar Sign;” and “Completely” featuring Indu. In addition, he scored two international hits with “Ramping Shop” debuting on the Billboard Top 100 Singles charts, and “Dollar Sign” being in regular rotation on popular urban stations in the U.S. This year he was also recognized by the EmE (Excellence in Music and Entertainment) Awards for Song of the Year, Lyricist/Songwriter of the Year, and Male Deejay of the Year.
