How Vybz Kartel Recorded His Biggest Hit While Serving Life in Prison

Vybz Kartel breaks down how he used modern technology to make "Fever" his biggest streaming hit to date.

For an episode of the Juan Ep Is Life podcast, Vybz Kartel hopped on a video call with hosts Cipha Sounds and Peter Rosenberg to talk about the first thing he did when he was released from prison (have sex with his fiancée), how he’s been spending his time (eating healthy, working out, managing his Graves’ Disease and making music), and what he’s planning for the immediate future (a series of performances around the world, including a massive one in Jamaica on Dec. 31). But the most surprising part of the interview came about 25 minutes into the episode when they begin talking about the massive amount of music Kartel released while locked up. “We’re not trying to snitch on you, we’re just so curious, we’re fans,” said Cipha Sounds after Rosenberg mentioned that a number of his most successful releases came during his time away.
