Vybz Kartel is back with a major album moment.
The dancehall star officially released God And Time on Friday, June 5, with the 14-track project debuting at No. 1 on the U.S. iTunes Reggae Albums chart.
The album brings together themes of faith, gratitude, reflection, romance and life after freedom, while also delivering a heavy lineup of collaborations. Features include Mavado on “Hype Life,” Spice on “Confession,” Wizkid on “Stay For The Night,” Farruko on “Casi Casi,” Skillibeng on “Try Again,” and Shenseea on “Panic.”
If you’re dating someone and you can’t comfortably tell them 'I don’t have money for this right now' without feeling ashamed, you are in the wrong relationship. 🤷♀️
LUCKI says he’s dead serious about retiring from rap at 35 to become a label executive 👀
“When I'm 35 though, I'm serious. I'm not about to keep rapping... I could see myself having my own label, but I'm probably going to work for one of the majors. For sure I am, be an exec at one of the majors.”

JAMAICA’S LAND CRABS ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME
Every June, Jamaica’s land crabs emerge in their ancient procession, crossing roads, filling buckets, ending up in cooking pots from Portland to St Elizabeth. It is a tradition as old as our memory, but it may not survive another generation.
The blue land crab (Cardisoma guanhumi) is classified Near Threatened by the IUCN, with declining populations across the Caribbean. It matures slowly, breeds once a year, and takes years to reach harvestable size; not the characteristics of a species that recovers easily from pressure.
The red land crab (Gecarcinus ruricola) faces similar challenges: over-harvesting for food, habitat loss, and slow reproductive rates that make recovery from population crashes difficult and prolonged.
The warning signs are there: We’re seeing fewer crabs on local roadsides with each passing year.
Puerto Rico saw populations crash over four decades under the combined weight of over-harvesting, pesticide contamination, and coastal development. Regulations finally came in 1999; closed seasons, size limits, protected zones; but only after the damage was done. Recovery remains slow and incomplete. The Bahamas, with even fewer controls, offers a still grimmer picture.
Jamaica has no closed season, no size limits, no monitoring programme. Harvesting is effectively open-access. As more land is cleared for buildings and roads, pressure on crab habitats intensifies each season.
The ecological stakes are high. Land crabs aerate coastal soils, cycle nutrients, and sustain the mangrove ecosystems that underpin Jamaica’s tourism economy.
Jamaica hasn’t lost what Puerto Rico spent a generation mourning. Not yet.
