Freedom Street is looking great for dancehall icon Adidjah ‘Vybz Kartel’ Palmer.

The recording artiste, freed after spending 13 years behind bars for a crime for which he was acquitted by the Court of Appeal in July, was thrown a surprise birthday party by music producer Linton ‘TJ Records’ White Monday night at New Kingston’s new hotspot One Park.

Family and friends secretly RSVP-ed in their numbers for Palmer’s four-course birthday dinner event, which featured Executive Chef Craig Nicholas Green’s culinary masterwork, and was styled by decorator Kike Whitfield.

Something Extra takes you to Kartel’s soirée, which came on the same day he was revealed as a Billboard magazine digital exclusive cover star.
