gun-session-remix-kartel

This super hardcore bootleg remix of Young Jeezy and Akon’s 2005 hit “Soul Survivor” featured a rapid fire verse from Vybz Kartel, and murderous lyrics from Shabba Ranks alongside Sizzla. It completely took over the streets, becoming an underground anthem that can still be heard well beyond the dancehall world. —Max Glazer
