One of the most influential artists in dancehall history, Vybz Kartel, marks a defining new chapter with his forthcoming album God & Time, slated for release June 5th, 2026. Pre-order is available now with the release of the album’s powerful title track and its latest video.
Following two back-to-back Grammy-nominated Best Reggae albums for Party With Me (2024) and Heart & Soul (2025), along with the 10th Anniversary: Viking (Vybz Is King) (2025), Kartel now delivers his most personal and sonically expansive body of work since he was freed from prison after 13 years.
Spanning genres and continents, God & Time will feature an all-star lineup including Puerto Rican superstar Farruko, Jamaica’s Skillibeng, and Shenseea, who appears on the already released single “Panic,” with many more guests to be announced.
Throughout the forthcoming God & Time album, Kartel moves seamlessly between personal reflections, hard-hitting dancehall anthems, sensual records for the ladies, genre-bending crossover records, and rare moments of vulnerability. Inspired by the Jamaican expression “God & Time”—rooted in faith, patience, and destiny—the album reflects his survival, rebirth, and creative freedom.
The title track evokes the same introspective tone as Kartel’s most streamed post-release hit “God Is The Greatest,” which has surpassed 30 million video views year-to-date. The “God & Time” official video, directed by Ruppi and filmed in Miami and Kingston, premieres today.
Produced by longtime collaborator TJ Records alongside Kartel, the anticipated God & Time album reunites the creative team behind Viking (Vybz Is King) (2015) and King of the Dancehall (2016), which included the RIAA Gold-certified hit “Fever.” God & Time will be released via TJ Records / Vybz Kartel Muzik and distributed by Zojak World Wide.
