KINGSTON, Jamaica — Veteran producer and publicist Ralston Barrett is set to release a brand‑new reggae one‑drop rhythm project titled Jailhouse Set Me Free Rhythm Vol 1, a compilation that brings together a powerful lineup of artistes delivering conscious, uplifting music.

The project features contributions from Turbulence, Ginjah, DYCR, Kuanna, Ras Fraser Jr, SPayde 876, Wise Wurdz, Johnson Code, Jah Single, Septimus and Ajaisaint Jude.

The project is scheduled for release on March 27 via Symphony B Records and distributed worldwide via ONErpm.

According to Barrett, the project represents both his deep passion for music production and his commitment to delivering authentic, meaningful reggae music to audiences worldwide.

“Producing this rhythm was truly a labour of love for me. I have always had a deep passion for music production and creating songs that people can feel and connect with,” Barrett said. “This project is also very special because it forms part of the legacy I’m building for my daughter through Symphony B Records.”

Built on the classic one‑drop rhythm, one of reggae’s most iconic musical foundations, the compilation provides a backdrop for each artiste to explore themes of culture, social reflection, resilience, and positivity.

With the release of Jailhouse Set Me Free Rhythm Vol 1, Barrett continues his mission to preserve and expand the reach of authentic reggae music while creating opportunities for both established and emerging artistes.

Symphony B Records made its debut with the Sobriety Test Rhythm in 2021. It featured songs by Capleton, Delly Ranx, Ffurious, and Tellah.
