Dancehall Artiste Popcaan happy with career progress, yet to visit Kartel in jail


Emerging Dancehall superstar, Andre Sutherland, more popularly known asPopcaan, insists he’ll become the proverbial flag bearer for thePortmore Empire despite his mentor’s incarceration on murder and drug-related charges.

Since his arrest on September 29 inNew Kingston, Portmore Empireleader, Vybz Kartel has been slapped with two murder charges stemming from incidents occurring this past summer. Additionally, Assistance Commissioner of Police, Ealan Powell, intimated that more murder charges could be issued against Kartel; darkening an already large cloud over Kartel’s career and the future of the Portmore Empire.

With fellow Empire member, Shawn Storm also behind bars on a murder charge, Popcaan and fellow members of Gaza group are disheartened regarding the startling allegations. However, the Ravin deejay, who’s been hailed by some Dancehall observers as the most improved artiste in 2011, told TVJ’s Entertainment Reports that he’ll bear the responsibility of leading the Empire while lifting sulking Gaza fans.

“Is a time when Gaza fans down, but yuh haffi try keep dem heads up,”Popcaan said.
Additionally, Popcaan insisted that his recent surge within Dancehall comes as a result of a change in approach.
