Immediate boycott of Vybz Kartel and Gaza

For the past five years there has been a dramatic increase in violence in Jamaica’s ”Dancehall”. Since the inception of ” Gaza” which is led by Vybz Kartel,  a well known DJ who has appointed himself ”addi the daddy/teacher/leader of this group. Vybz Kartel has recruited many young people with dreams of becoming artists, with these dreams, these young people are sometimes forced to accept the maltreatment that Vybz Kartel unleashes on them . These artists are called ” Gaza”. He has been involved in the gang rape of a young woman who is afraid to speak about her experience, numerous beatings are unleashed upon these young artists who are controlled by Vybz Kartel, if he thinks they have gotten out of line. The Jamaican goverment has turned a blind eye to these acts and Vybz Kartel has never been questioned or prosecuted for the beatings and abuse that he has ordered. Gaza Kim who is now known as Kym, a 19 year old female was called in and beaten by two men with orders coming again from Vybz Kartel. It is sad that the government who is elected by the people is somehow out of reach when it comes to the protection of the citizens. Vybz Kartel is the worst thing that has happened to dancehall in Jamaica, dancehall which is a means by which Jamaicans  see as a means of escape from daily life stresses has now become a burden to Jamaica. Many young children find the lyrics of the songs Vybz Kartel sings catchy so many of his fans are upcoming adoloscents. Many of his songs speak of vioilence and sexual immoralities which includes young girls that have not reached the age of consent.
     The latest casuality from the Gaza has been the bombing of Black Ryno’s home who was a former member of the Gaza. Black Ryno who also was ordered beaten by Vybz Kartel decided to leave the group because of the constant abuse and maltreatment. Gunshots were fired on his home a few days after he decided leave the Gaza camp and now an even more drastic approach,  bombing. These behaviours are constant negative contributions to the Jamaican society which is steadily increasing in violence, and with little or no intervention from the government common citizens are now placing themselves in positions of authority, of which Vybz Kartel has seemingly done. Our music was what made our culture dynamic and with Vybz Kartel in a position to influence upcoming musicians and the children of Jamaica, an intervention is needed now and not later. The Jamaican goverment has disappointed its people, which is somewhat understandable when one considers who the real leaders of Jamaica are. The government fear these men themselves and  as such  is of little or no value to Jamaica and its people
