Here’s a little story that warms my heart, not just as a reggae fan, but more importantly, as a lover of straight up dancehall culture. Some folks might know about it already, but the years-long feud between dancehall stars Mavado and Vybz Kartel is officially done. The two have gone at each others throats with words and actions for too long and it reached a point where dancehall lovers in Jamaica were becoming divided themselves. Of course, Mavado and his Alliance Crew, (BountyKiller, Serani, etc) have tons of support but true Kartel fans are legion! As a writer who has had to cover more dancehall fueds than I care to explain, the situation has reached ugly points in the past and honestly needed to end. For casual reggae observers, this not make any sense, but seeing Mavado and Vybz Kartel on stage genuinely laughing and embracing each other is something that I can’t help but want to spread to the masses.
I’ve known about this for awhile but forgot to post on it. Today that changes. So much war and fuckery a gwaan inna di world but today, LxNxM wants to show you some peace.
glad they deaded that beef. not only was the beef whack cuz it created so much tension and violence, but also made for some shitty tunes. I had to hold back from posting some mixtapes in the past to avoid promoting that gully v. gaza bs. big up mavado and vybz kartel for doing the right thing.

Dancehall artists need to chill the fuck out sometimes. I’m glad Mavado and Vybz did exactly that. They look happy together on stage. But word is, the real beef is with Vybz and Bounty. That shit is NOT deaded.
