He was born at Kingston's Victoria Jubilee Hospital, and was one of six children. Originally from Waterhouse, Kingston, he was raised in the Waterford district in the community Portmore, Jamaica. Adidja attended Calabar High School in Kingston but was expelled as a teenager. Determined to continue his education, he completed his studies at a tutorial technical school.
He was exposed to a wide variety of music from a tender age by two uncles who were themselves aspiring musicians. Every weekend he was treated to new musical offerings, on his uncle's old component set, ranging from Sam Cooke to country and western ballads to Ninja Man, who became one of his musical heroes.
At 10 his favorites included artists as diverse as Ninja Man, Papa San, Charlie Chaplin, Will Smith and KRS-1, all of whose lyrics he would study word-for-word, performing them later for friends.
He decided he wanted to be a deejay and began writing his own lyrics when he was 11. Eager to flaunt his skills, Adidja and his friends frequented the weekly Gong Talent Show at the Coney Amusement Park on the outskirts of Kingston. To their chagrin, they were always gonged off when they got a chance to perform.
Undeterred by his weekly failure to impress the talent show audience, Adidja decided to hone his skills and concentrate on winning over his own community of Waterford until he was ready for bigger things. With that goal in mind, on weekends he would practise on neighborhood sound systems Soul Signal and Electric Force.
In 1993, Adidja recorded his first single, "Love Fat Woman," for Alvin Reid's One Heart Label under the name Adi Banton, a name he chose in tribute to a role model, Buju Banton. He recorded several more tracks for local producers, perfecting his craft.
In 1996 he and two friends, Mr. Lee and a singer called Escobar, decided to form a group. One night, after watching a movie about Pablo Escobar and his infamous cartel, Adidja came up with a name for his trio: Vibes Cartel.
Vybz Kartel's new role as Killer's protege caught the attention of the public and led to a meteoric career rise, first as a ghost-writer for Bounty, Elephant Man and other members of the Scare Dem Crew, followed by collaborations with Bounty Killer, such as "Gal Clown" and "Girls Like Mine (Liquid Riddim)."
He came into his own with early hits like "Gun Clown," "Guns Like Mine (Trafalga Riddim)," "Badman (Panty Raid Riddim)," "Bus Mi Gun Like Nuttn," "Most High (Mexican Riddim)" and "War Organizer (Clappas Riddim)." He also had a string of successful collaborations with Wayne Marshall, including "New Millennium (Mad Antz Riddim)," "Why (Krazy Riddim)" and "Why Again (Good To Go Riddim)." This unprecedented debut led to Vybz Kartel being crowned 2002 Deejay of the Year at Stone Love's 30th anniversary, a feat unmatched by any new artist in dancehall.
Kartel has--aside from incredible rhymes and subtle, clever pop culture references--a unique lyrical flow all his own. It is to be noted that Kartel rarely does dance "chunes" along the lines of Elephant man or Beenie Man. Nevertheless, he has already had several high-profile collaborations with international hip-hop and pop stars, and is being touted as the next big thing in dancehall.
In terms of singles sold, he has had the second-best year on the 2003 reggae charts, outsold only by Elephant Man, and has released two albums this year for UK label Greensleeves. He was featured twice on the Def Jamaica project, and nominated for Source, VIBE and UK MOBO awards. His MOBO nominations, along with those of Beenie Man, Elephant Man and Sizzla, were subsequently withdrawn over concerns of homophobia, a common issue with dancehall reggae in general.
His video for "New Millennium/Why," with Wayne Marshall, though decidedly low-budget, has seen play on MTV. His underground following is so large that a bootleg version of, in his own words, "a very, very low budget film" made in 2001 has begun circulating. He has two albums, several mixtapes and a prolific library of singles.
In 2005, Vybz and Bountkiller fell out after Vybz preformed a song with Di Angel, Beenie's former girl, "Yuh Know Yuh Baby Father." Vybz walked out of the Alliance. Aidonia also left, because he took Vybz side, falling out with Busy Signal and making the song "Adid A Mi Daddy Who Wa Vex Wan Vex." It was said Vybz took side with Beenie by showing up at his wedding. Vybz said Beenie was his artist and would not and that's as far as it went. Afterwards, he and Movado which led to throwing of words through songs like "Movado di Failla," "Them Start War and Dead" and "Them a Pu@#* Pon di Battle." But this mis happas only made Mr.Palmer express his war side.
Vybz is the head of the territorial gangland in Portmore known as the Gaza and Mavado is the same for the Gully. Due to their feud a physical war arose between people in the two areas. Fans loyal to each artist have taken part as well. Their fan base in the youths has been seen, as entire schools claiming to be Gully or Gaza supporters have been known not just in Jamaica but in other Caribbean countries such as Trinidad to break out into physical war resulting in stabbings and street fights.
Following the 2009 Summit of the Americas the Jamaican government called a meetings between Vybz Kartel and Mavado calling on them to end the war. Since its conclusion both artists have turned away from war songs and focused on different topics, Kartel on women and Mavado on uplifting the people, although both still make songs of all types.
Following differences with record label Greensleeves, Vybz Kartel changed his name to Addi Di Teacha near the end of 2006. All new material he produces will be released under this name. Greensleeves will continue to release his older, unreleased material under the name Vybz Kartel.
He now owns the label Portmore Empire, founded in 2007, on which releases new deejays' music. To clear up why this was done he had an interview with Antony Miller. "If I had join Moffia House, I would be taking side which I said I would not do," he said.
He owns a rum called STREET VYBZ as well as a condom line called DAGGERING.
Recently, he collaborated with artists like D.I. aka Daniel and Di Angel--Beenie man's former wife. But that's another story...
In 2011 Kartel has recently come under fire for bleaching his skin, something that is frowned upon in Jamaican culture and even Kartel spoken against it in past songs. He has come under even more fire for his rumored involvement in devil worship with a satanic group known as the Illuminati, which is known to have other popular musicains such as Jay-Z, Kanye West, Rihanna.

In Vybz Kartel's song "Best Place Pon Earth," the lyrics express admiration and desire for a woman's physical attributes. The opening lines highlight the artist's appreciation for the woman's weight gain, specifically focusing on the enlargement of her buttocks. This is celebrated as an attractive quality, as the artist remarks on the increasing popularity and demand for such features.
The following lines liken the woman's appearance to a summer in Paris, emphasizing her irresistible appeal. The mention of "your titty dem a foreign, New York, Miami" suggests that the woman's breasts are also highly desired and resemble those of women from these renowned cities. The use of the word "supercalifragilisticexpiali" is a playful and exaggerated term meant to emphasize the woman's exceptional attractiveness. The mention of a photo without damage implies that her beauty is flawless.
The lyrics then shift to discussing societal expectations and the pursuit of success. The artist states that to attract a bachelor, the woman would need to attend college. This juxtaposition highlights the challenge of achieving such a relationship without education. The artist shares his personal experience of being expelled from school ("kick out a school") but still finding success through his involvement with Jammys, a record label. The mention of a diamond in his chain symbolizes his rise from a potentially oppressive situation, signifying his determination to abolish the chains of slavery.
The chorus reinforces the artist's assertion that the woman's vagina is the best place on Earth. This line is repeated to emphasize its importance and to celebrate the woman's sexual prowess. The reference to Miss World suggests that the woman is exceptional and tops all others. The line "You're hotter than a girl she get mer" alludes to the idea that the woman is even more desirable than a fictional girl who possesses extraordinary beauty. The mention of her man pushing badness, insinuating violence, and the comparison of "more corn than a cup a porridge" suggests that the artist is willing to engage in illicit activities or confrontations to protect and maintain the woman's favor.
The final verse delves into the woman's ambition and desire for financial success. The artist compares her accumulation of wealth to having "thirty bag a luggage full up a money." The mention of being sovereign in a republic and being crowned a Duchess denotes that the woman holds a position of power and influence. The artist further emphasizes her uniqueness by stating that she is not controlled by anyone and is fortunate like a leprechaun. The reference to Nantucket suggests that she is of high value, comparable to the prestigious island. The artist hints that the woman may be seeking affirmation or evidence, telling her to "get a office, plug in, log on, receive, print, and package." This phrase suggests a desire for validation or justification, perhaps driven by her aspiration to break free from past limitations.
Overall, the lyrics of "Best Place Pon Earth" celebrate physical beauty, desire, and ambition. They also highlight the artist's own journey from adversity to success, emphasizing the importance of breaking free from societal constraints and pursuing personal goals.
