Patra Releases Defiant Dancehall Single No Threat in Career Comeback

Westmoreland-born dancehall icon Patra is back on the charts with No Threat, opening what she frames as a fresh creative stretch that will bring further recordings, overseas concert dates, and a worldwide distribution arrangement linking Plus Entertainment Inc., J-House Entertainment, and Sony Orchard.

The release lands as a confident declaration from a deejay long credited with opening doors for women in dancehall beyond Jamaica, after her landmark years signed to Epic Records/Sony Music through the 1990s.

"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 single carries a kindred energy. "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 off a turn in HBO's well-received drama Get Millie Black, Patra is stretching into new creative territory while holding to the same raw identity that marked her earlier work.

"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.
