Patra Releases Dancehall Single No Threat Under New Global Deal

Nineties dancehall deejay Patra has put out a combative new cut, No Threat, marking the start of a planned stretch of fresh material, overseas stage dates, and a worldwide distribution arrangement joining Plus Entertainment Inc., J-House Entertainment, and Sony Orchard.

The song lands as a firm declaration from the trailblazing deejay whose 1990s tenure with Epic Records/Sony Music opened doors for women in dancehall beyond Jamaica.

"No Threat is the answer for people who keep asking me if I can still do it because there are younger artistes," Patra said. "I set the stage internationally. There's a big cake and everybody can have a slice. I'm Queen of the Pack, and there's no threat."

She also saluted the late reggae great Cocoa Tea, noting that the record's stance echoes his outlook. "I have to big up Cocoa Tea because when I wrote this song, I didn't even realize we shared the same vibe. Much respect to a true legend."

Coming after her appearance in HBO's highly praised drama Get Millie Black, Patra keeps widening her creative footprint without leaving behind the genuine style long tied to her name.

"The only thing that's new about me is that I've become more spiritual and more business-minded. It's still the same Patra from Westmoreland. I'm just smarter now," she added.
