Ayetian’s breakout year shows no signs of slowing down. Less than a month after becoming the most nominated dancehall artiste at the 2026 Caribbean Music Awards with seven nominations, the Jamaican-Haitian deejay has reached another career milestone as his new Jampack mixtape debuts at No. 3 on the U.S. iTunes Reggae Albums chart. The achievement reinforces the growing international momentum behind one of dancehall’s fastest-rising stars ahead of major performances at Rum Island Festival and Reggae Sumfest.
The 16-track project showcases Ayetian’s versatility, blending his signature high-energy delivery with melodic and international influences. Among the standout records are Scale Tip Ova, the groove-driven Miami Vice, produced by Slingerz Records, and T-Pot, where DJ Mac and Crash Dummy reimagine Super Beagle‘s classic Dust a Sound Boy into one of the mixtape’s hardest-hitting tracks. The project also features an impressive cast of collaborators, including Ky-Mani Marley on Bob Marley, Kodak Black on Zzz Out, Skillibeng on Gih Yuh Some, and Stefflon Don on My Girl, underscoring Ayetian’s growing appeal across multiple markets.
The latest chart success adds to what has already been a defining year for the rising star. In June, Ayetian secured seven nominations at the Caribbean Music Awards, making him the ceremony’s most nominated dancehall artiste. His nods included Dancehall Song of the Year for Wah Yo Deh Pon, Best New Artist, Dancehall Impact Award, Male Dancehall Artist of the Year, and three Collaboration of the Year nominations. Earlier this year, he also earned a MOBO Award nomination for Best Caribbean Music Act, placing him alongside some of the biggest names in Caribbean music and further strengthening his international profile.
Produced by an accomplished team including Slingerz Records, Silent Addy & Disco Neil, DJ Mac and Crash Dummy, Nvtzz, Dane Ray, YGF Records, Crawba Genius and Countree Hype, Jampack represents Ayetian’s most ambitious body of work to date. The release arrives at a pivotal moment in his career, with performances scheduled at the Rum Island Festival in Atlanta on July 11 before he returns home for Reggae Sumfest on July 18. With industry recognition, international collaborations and now a strong U.S. chart debut, Ayetian appears to be entering a new chapter that could establish him among dancehall’s next generation of global stars.
