In the aftermath of the successful release of Jemere Morgan’s uplifting single \u201cKnow Better,\u201d Ghetto Youths International has launched \u201cNo Better Riddim,\u201d a dynamic reggae compilation and juggling package produced by Grammy Award-winning musician and producer Damian \u201cJr. Gong\u201d Marley.<\/p>\n

Ghetto Youths International is the independent record label founded by Stephen Marley, Damian Marley, and Julian Marley.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuilt around the same musical foundation as Jemere Morgan’s acclaimed single, the \u2018No Better Riddim\u2019 embraces the rich Jamaican tradition of juggling projects, bringing together multiple artists to interpret the same riddim through their own unique stories, melodies and perspectives,\u201d Brooklyn-based, Jamaican-born entertainment publicist Ronnie Tomlinson told Caribbean Life on Monday, June 15.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe project serves as both a meaningful standalone compilation and a strategic extension of the original single campaign, allowing each artist to contribute their own voice while strengthening the collective impact of the riddim,\u201d added the CEO of the New York-based Destine Media, Inc.<\/p>\n

She said the next chapter of \u201cNo Better Riddim\u201d arrived with two standout additions from some of reggae’s most celebrated voices.<\/p>\n

Tomlinson said Reggae songstress Alaine returns with “Love Again,” a soulful and uplifting ballad produced by Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley.<\/p>\n

Showcasing the singer at her finest, Tomlinson said the record explores \u201cthe endurance and transformative power of true love over a warm modern one-drop reggae groove.\u201d<\/p>\n

As one of the featured tracks from the \u201cNo Better Riddim,\u201d Tomlinson said “Love Again” delivers the \u201csignature blend of romance, melody, and authenticity that has made Alaine a favorite among reggae audiences worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n

With its universal message and contemporary reggae-R&B sensibility, Tomlinson said the single is \u201cpoised to resonate strongly with female listeners and lovers of modern Caribbean music alike.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joining the release is acclaimed reggae vocalist Pressure Busspipe with “So Amazing,” another standout contribution.<\/p>\n
