Kartel further emphasized the significance of his story. “My story is amazing—13 years out of prison, getting nominated for an album I did in prison, coming out and walking the red carpet.”

Despite not winning the Grammy, Kartel made it clear that he wasn’t bitter about the outcome. “No, hell no. That’s Bob Marley. And personally, I think he was the only person who could have beaten me.”
