On December 31, 2024, at Kingston's National Stadium, Ghanaian dancehall sensation Shatta Wale and Jamaican icon Vybz Kartel will light up the stage at the eagerly awaited Freedom Street Concert. This is a momentous occasion as Vybz Kartel performs on stage for the first time since being released from prison earlier this year after serving 13 years.
Alongside dancehall legends Popcaan, Busta Rhymes, Skillibeng, and Spice, Shatta Wale is the sole African performer on the lineup. His participation in this star-studded event is evidence of his influence on the dancehall scene worldwide and his pioneering role in promoting African music internationally.
