Dancehall legend Buju Banton joins global music trailblazer Patoranking to call for black liberation on ‘African Soldier’

Patoranking teams up with dancehall icon Buju Banton on powerful new single “African Soldier,” released March 13th . Serving as the second release from Patoranking’s upcoming fifth studio album, the track is a roots reggae statement championing African pride, liberation and the global rise of Black excellence.

Produced by Jazzwad (Bounty Killer, Popcaan) and mixed by GRAMMY-winning engineer Bonzai (Mariah Carey, Nas), the track pairs heavyweight sonics with a striking visual directed by UAX and shot in New York.

With over 2 billion global streams, Patoranking continues to lead the Afro-dancehall space, while Buju Banton’s legendary status adds further weight to the release. “African Soldier” marks a bold, message-driven moment ahead of Patoranking’s next era.
