Tads Records is teaming up with popular Jamaican disc Jockey DJ Wayne to release a Vybz Kartel mixtape dubbed Clarks: De Raw.
The mixtape is schedule to hit iTunes come Friday, December 10, and promise to give dancehall fans globally the ultimate dancehall vibes.
The mixtape contain top 2010 hits such as “Touch a Button,” “Turn and Whine,” “Cake Soap,” “Better Can Wuk,” and the recently released “Dancehall Hero.” The EP also features “Clarks Again,” and “Wear Weh You Have (Clarks 3),” his two follow up songs to “Clarks” – collectively known as the ‘Clarks Trilogy.’
This isn’t a full-fledged album, but more of an attempt to bridge the gap between Pon Di Gaza 2.0, and his next album, which is scheduled for release at the end of 2011,” explains Tadiem Dawkins, of Tads Record Inc. “As long as he keeps spitting out these hits, we must respond to the audience demand with a product that highlights and promotes these songs.”
Dawkins adds that the response to the anticipated EP is “overwhelming, as the artist is on top of his game and is Jamaica’s baddest deejay (mc).”
“Kartel has many attributes that have placed him in the enviable position atop the dancehall ladder,” says DJ Wayne, of Jamaica’s top-rated Reggae station Irie FM. “His style is ever-evolving, and he uses all aspects of the art of deejay-ing to the fullest potential.”
