DJ Khaled is orchestrating what may be the most powerful dancehall collaboration of the decade. The ‘We The Best’ label boss has brought together four of the genre’s most influential icons—Vybz Kartel, Bounty Killer, Buju Banton, and Mavado—for a heavyweight single titled “You Remind Me,” set to appear on his forthcoming album Aalam of God.
The long-awaited reunion happened Tuesday in Miami, and all four artists took to social media to share behind-the-scenes photos, sparking major buzz across the dancehall community. It was an extra special moment—the first time Vybz Kartel and Mavado have been seen together since Kartel’s release from prison in 2024. Earlier this year, Kartel confirmed he is living in Florida.
Paul “Bankie” Giscombe, who flew in from Kingston on DJ Khaled’s private jet alongside Bounty Killer and members of The Alliance crew, told FACEVU.IMAGES, “This is gonna be a magnanimous track with these dancehall titans. We’ll be shooting the video in the coming days—it will be a special moment in time.”
Aalam of God, Khaled’s 14th studio album, is slated for release in late 2025 and is rumored to feature a massive lineup of global stars, including Drake, Rihanna, and Jay-Z.
“This is not my last album—it’s my Black Album,” Khaled said in a recent press release, hinting at the record’s deep creative and personal meaning.
Meanwhile, Bounty Killer is currently in intense rehearsals for The Return of the Warlord, his upcoming show at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Saturday, July 5. He’ll be joined by Mavado, Masicka, and Aidonia, with surprise guest appearances anticipated.
“Bounty’s legacy as a revolutionary force in dancehall—from his collaborations with The Fugees and Busta Rhymes to timeless hits like Fed Up, Mianic and Pot of Gold, makes this Brooklyn show a historic moment,” said Bankie. “Expect fireworks.”
With this once-in-a-generation collaboration on the horizon and a Brooklyn takeover just weeks away, the Warlord and his peers are ushering in a new global era for dancehall—one that fans will be talking about for years to come.
