Vybz Kartel to Distribute New Skin Products

Controversial deejay Vybz Kartel is back on the market. The artiste is gearing up to distribute a whole new line of skincare products and fragrances. Set to be released to the public in September are the Vybz Skin Brightener, Vybz Body Brightener, Vybz Anti-Aging Moisturiser, Vybz Astringent, Vybz Soap and OH! by Vybz Kartel in men's cologne and women's perfume.  This will not be the first time the artiste-turned-businessman will be releasing his own line of products, having previously released Daggerin' Condoms and Vybz Rum with ex-business partner Corey Todd. However, since the two parted ways earlier this year, this will be Kartel's first solo project. Speaking recently, the deejay explained that he would be releasing a range of Vybz skincare products, and fragrances under the name 'OH!' after his signature slang. As to what inspired this, he said, "My drive is to always make money." The company distributing the products is Romping Shop owned by Vybz Kartel and will all be made in Jamaica. The artiste is also planning to open a store under the same name Romping Shop where the products will be made available. He said, "The store opening will coincide with the release of the products in September. As far as plans for the products go, I wanna see them in Macys and all other fine retailers worldwide. Romping Shop will be the distributor of the product, so the product can be bought by retailers and sold anywhere they choose to sell them." The store, he disclosed, would either be located in downtown Kingston or New Kingston adding, "We have two options now, so we are deciding which location would capitalise on our reach." As to what future products he plans to sell through his Romping Shop company, Kartel commented, "I can't disclose that at this moment. The copycats antennas are up." In February, the artiste also released other merchandise including dog tags, T-shirts and belt buckles. According to Kartel, those items are to be redone and redistributed on the market soon as well. Musically, the artiste has out now songs such as Dedication, Nymphomania, the Lost Angel rhythm which features the Portmore Empire and Badmind Get the Best of Them from Adidjahiem/Headconcussion. He is currently filming his reality show Teacha's Pet in Kingston. Source: Jamaica Star
