Vybz Kartel Unveils Star-Studded Guest List for Upcoming ‘God & Time’ Album

(ReggaeVibeMedia.com) — Strengthening his grip on the global music scene, dancehall icon Vybz Kartel has officially unveiled the 14-song tracklist for his highly anticipated album, God & Time. Scheduled for release on Friday, June 5, 2026, the project is being hailed as one of the most sonically expansive of his career, bridging the gap between Jamaica, Nigeria, and Puerto Rico.

The Gaza-Gully Reunion: “Hype Life”

The most historically significant detail of the new album is the featured collaboration with his former rival, Mavado, on the track titled “Hype Life”. This reunion follows their joint appearance on DJ Khaled’s 2025 single “You Remind Me” and serves as a prelude to their landmark co-headlining performance at Reggae Sumfest on July 18, 2026. The collaboration effectively signals a permanent end to the “Gaza vs. Gully” rivalry that dominated dancehall for over a decade.

A Dominant Sweep at the 2026 IRAWMAs

The album launch comes immediately after Kartel’s massive victory at the 43rd International Reggae and World Music Awards (IRAWMA) held in Lauderhill on May 17, 2026. Kartel swept nine total awards, including:

• Hon. Bob Marley Award for Entertainer of the Year.

• Peter Tosh Award for Recording Artist of the Year.

• Best Caribbean Entertainer Award.

• Toots Hibbert Award for Best Album for his previous project, Heart and Soul.

• Gregory Isaacs Award for Best Song for “God Is the Greatest”.
