Vybz Kartel – “Join the Team” Review
Produced by Big Win Music
Vybz Kartel returns with “Join the Team”, a vibrant, feel-good track that blends dancehall energy with nostalgic hip hop flair. Produced by Big Win Music, the beat carries undeniable echoes of Busta Rhymes’ “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See”—from its smooth groove to Kartel’s playful mimicry of Busta’s signature flow. But this is no imitation—this is Kartel in full command, tipping his hat while carving his own lane.
Lyrically, the track is a clever mix of flex and foresight. Kartel boasts a waiting list just to “join the team,” highlighting the perks and pitfalls of his circle. He delivers fair warning: while prosperity comes with the package, there’s always a fine print. It’s witty, charismatic, and layered, as only Kartel can do.
The video adds to the vibe, visually matching the song’s bounce and bravado. Notably, Scatta makes a cameo appearance, and there are name-drops of legends like Busta Rhymes and Bounty Killer, reminding listeners that this is more than a tribute. “Join the Team” is Kartel showing that even while having fun, he’s still pushing creative boundaries. It’s homage, it’s innovation, and it’s undeniably Kartel.
