In the aftermath of the successful release of Jemere Morgan’s uplifting single “Know Better,” Ghetto Youths International has launched “No Better Riddim,” a dynamic reggae compilation and juggling package produced by Grammy Award-winning musician and producer Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley.
Ghetto Youths International is the independent record label founded by Stephen Marley, Damian Marley, and Julian Marley.
“Built around the same musical foundation as Jemere Morgan’s acclaimed single, the ‘No Better Riddim’ 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,” Brooklyn-based, Jamaican-born entertainment publicist Ronnie Tomlinson told Caribbean Life on Monday, June 15.
“The 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,” added the CEO of the New York-based Destine Media, Inc.
She said the next chapter of “No Better Riddim” arrived with two standout additions from some of reggae’s most celebrated voices.
Tomlinson said Reggae songstress Alaine returns with “Love Again,” a soulful and uplifting ballad produced by Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley.
Showcasing the singer at her finest, Tomlinson said the record explores “the endurance and transformative power of true love over a warm modern one-drop reggae groove.”
As one of the featured tracks from the “No Better Riddim,” Tomlinson said “Love Again” delivers the “signature blend of romance, melody, and authenticity that has made Alaine a favorite among reggae audiences worldwide.”
With its universal message and contemporary reggae-R&B sensibility, Tomlinson said the single is “poised to resonate strongly with female listeners and lovers of modern Caribbean music alike.”
Joining the release is acclaimed reggae vocalist Pressure Busspipe with “So Amazing,” another standout contribution.
Widely celebrated for his ability to blend roots reggae with heartfelt lovers’ rock, Tomlinson said Pressure serenades women across the globe in his “unmistakable style, reminiscent of fan favorites such as ‘Love and Affection.’”
Driven by rich melodies, island warmth, and uplifting lyrics, she said “So Amazing” further demonstrates the “versatility” of the “No Better Riddim” while reinforcing the compilation’s broad appeal among reggae and reggae-fusion audiences.
“Together, the releases build upon the momentum established by Jemere Morgan’s ‘Know Better’ while showcasing the musical diversity that defines the ‘No Better Riddim’ project,” Tomlinson said.
“Blending contemporary reggae, lovers rock, and R&B influences, the compilation is designed to connect with multiple generations of listeners across the Caribbean and around the world,” she added.
Tomlinson stated that the complete “No Better Riddim” compilation will continue rolling out through June 2026, “further expanding the project’s reach across streaming platforms, radio, selector culture, and reggae communities worldwide.”
