Vybz Kartel will miss the launch of his book.

The dancehall deejay’s book Voice of the Jamaican Ghetto will be officially launched on Saturday, July 7 across from the Horizon Remand Center on Spanish Town Road.  

Vybz Kartel and his co-author, Michael Dawson, completed the manuscript early summer 2011 and Voice of the Jamaican Ghetto was first copyrighted in the United States on August 5, 2011.

Kartel is currently behind bars awaiting trial on two separate murder charges. The deejay has been in police custody since last year.
