Fast-rising Nigerian reggae artiste, Patoranking, has had another reason to smile and thank God again.

The 'Alubarika' crooner, according to latest information making the rounds, has penned a deal with a prominent music label in the world of reggae.

The 2014 Headies ' 'Next Rated' artiste, as we learnt, sealed a deal with VP Records, which is a parent label to VP Associated Label Group, one of the largest reggae companies in the world.

Though Patoranking's deal with Foston Musik still remains valid, the new music outfit will be responsible for his music distribution across the globe, while Foston will handle his record dealings and management.

Patoranking showed that he is not a one-off artiste when he featured Tiwa Savage in the remix of 'Girlie O'.

His new label has worked with reggae stars like Beenie Man, Sean Paul, Mavado, Elephant Man, Lady Saw, Shaggy, Busy Signal, and Gyptian.
