What a mega star he has become! Now Vybz Kartel is a tough act to follow, which is why it took me 22 years to sign another artiste despite countless artistes reaching out.
However, I was recently introduced to an extraordinary talent by the name of Yung Ras and believe me, I was so impressed with his talent and star quality that I had to sign him immediately. People remember Butler did tell unu dis Yung Ras is the next big thing out of Jamaica, ” Rohan Butler stated.
