The dancehall star on the rise has officially unveiled the cover art and tracklist for his highly anticipated new project, JamPack, arriving July 10. Packed with 16 tracks, heavyweight collaborations, and the infectious energy that has made him one of Caribbean music’s most exciting young voices, the project arrives as Ayetian continues one of the hottest runs in dancehall.
Fans can pre-save JamPack here now, ahead of its July 10 release.
The forthcoming project brings together an impressive lineup of collaborators, including Ky-Mani Marley, Stefflon Don, Kodak Black, Skillibeng, and longtime collaborator Nvtzz.
Production across the project comes courtesy of an all-star cast of Caribbean hitmakers, including Slingerz Records, Silent Addy, Disco Neil, DJ Mac, Dane Ray, Crawba Genius, Countree Hype, Nvtzz, and more.
For Ayetian, JamPack represents another major step forward in a career that continues to gain momentum across the Caribbean and beyond. The Montego Bay native has spent the past year delivering a steady stream of hits, collaborations, and viral moments that have cemented his status as one of dancehall’s most talked-about new stars.
The industry’s attention has followed. Billboard recently named Ayetian a “2026 Artist to Watch,” while EBONY included him in its annual STAMPED: Gentlemen of Sound list, recognizing 30 Black men helping shape the future of music and culture. He also stands among the most nominated artists at this year’s Caribbean Music Awards with seven nominations, including Dancehall Song of the Year, Best New Artist, Impact Award, Male Dancehall Artist of the Year, and multiple Collaboration of the Year honors.
The buzz surrounding Ayetian continues to grow globally. His latest release, “Donkey Call,” was recently highlighted by VICE as one of its “5 Songs You Need To Hear,” while his catalog has now surpassed 100 million views on YouTube, fueled by fan favorites including “Tip (Remix),” “Truth & Balance,” “Anyeweh,” and “Wah Yo Deh Pon.”
The forthcoming project follows his breakout 2025 EP Trini Pack and signals the beginning of what many believe could be a defining year for one of dancehall’s brightest young stars.
And if JamPack wasn’t enough, Ayetian is taking the energy straight to the stage. One day after the EP arrives, he will perform at Atlanta’s Rum Island Festival on July 11, joining thousands of Caribbean music lovers for one of the summer’s premier celebrations of dancehall, soca, reggae, Afrobeats, food, and culture.
Born Malik Legend Tercien in Montego Bay, Jamaica, to Haitian parents, Ayetian represents a new generation of Caribbean artists proudly carrying the culture forward while creating music that resonates around the world.

Ayetian's Identity: Where Jamaica Meets Haiti
Few artists in the current dancehall landscape carry a dual cultural identity as deliberately and proudly as Ayetian. Born Malik Legend Tercien in Montego Bay, Jamaica, to Haitian parents, his very name is a statement of heritage. “Ayetian” is a phonetic rendering of the Haitian Creole word for Haitian, a conscious choice that signals exactly who he is and where he comes from before a single note is played.
That duality is not merely biographical context. It is the artistic engine behind his sound. His music pulls from the rhythmic weight of dancehall while weaving in the ceremonial intensity and percussive tradition rooted in Haitian culture, producing something that feels simultaneously familiar and genuinely new. Tracks like “Truth and Balance” and “Anyeweh” demonstrate a songwriter who understands that cultural specificity is not a limitation but a competitive advantage in a global streaming landscape hungry for authenticity.
In an era when many Caribbean artists soften their regional identity to court mainstream crossover appeal, Ayetian has taken the opposite approach, leaning harder into his roots with each release. JamPack, with its closing tribute to Montego Bay and its collaboration with the son of reggae’s most revered icon, reads as the clearest articulation yet of that philosophy.
The Collaborations That Define JamPack
The tracklist for JamPack is not simply a collection of features. It reads as a strategic portrait of where Ayetian stands in 2025 and where he is clearly headed. Each pairing reflects a different dimension of his artistic range and his growing ability to move across genre lines without losing his dancehall core.
The album’s second track pairs him with Ky-Mani Marley, the son of Bob Marley, for a collaboration that carries enormous symbolic weight. For a Jamaican-Haitian artist building a legacy rooted in Caribbean pride, recording alongside a Marley family member represents a cultural endorsement that few rising stars in the genre have earned this early.
The pairing with Kodak Black on “ZZZ Out” speaks to a different ambition, bridging the worlds of dancehall and American hip-hop in the way that has historically opened the widest doors for Caribbean artists seeking a foothold in the United States market. Stefflon Don, whose own Anglo-Caribbean fluency has made her one of the most respected voices in the global Afrobeats and dancehall crossover space, appears on “My Girl,” adding a transatlantic dimension to the project.
Skillibeng, one of dancehall’s most electrifying current voices, joins for “Gih Yuh Some,” while longtime collaborator Nvtzz anchors the closing track “Mobay City,” grounding the project in the local loyalty that defines Ayetian’s foundation.
From Trini Pack to JamPack: A Career Accelerating in Real Time
JamPack does not arrive in a vacuum. It is the next chapter in a remarkably focused upward trajectory that has unfolded over the past 18 months. Ayetian’s 2025 breakout EP, Trini Pack, introduced him to a wider regional audience and demonstrated his capacity to balance commercial accessibility with lyrical substance, a combination that has historically separated the artists who endure from those who peak early.
The metrics supporting that momentum are difficult to dismiss. Crossing 100 million YouTube views is a threshold many dancehall artists spend entire careers approaching without reaching. Seven nominations at the Caribbean Music Awards, a Billboard “Artist to Watch” designation, and a spot on EBONY’s STAMPED: Gentlemen of Sound list form a recognition portfolio that reflects credibility across both industry and cultural institutions simultaneously.
What distinguishes Ayetian’s run from a typical breakout narrative is the consistency of the output. Rather than banking on a single viral moment, he has maintained a steady release cadence, each track building on the last and widening his catalog’s reach. VICE spotlighting “Donkey Call” as one of the week’s essential songs is the kind of tastemaker validation that confirms an artist has transcended regional novelty and entered genuine global conversation.
JamPack, arriving on July 10 and immediately followed by a live performance at Atlanta’s Rum Island Festival, is structured to convert that momentum into a summer-defining moment.
