We are given an original story from The Pier about Arise Roots collaborating with Rik Jam on a new single.
Step 1: Check relevance to reggae, dancehall, or Caribbean music culture.
– Arise Roots: Southern California roots reggae group (roots reggae is a subgenre of reggae)
– Rik Jam: Jamaican singer (from Jamaica)
– The single “Watch Over I” is released through Ineffable Records (a label that does reggae)
– The story is about a new reggae collaboration between a US roots reggae group and a Jamaican artist.
This is clearly within reggae and Caribbean music culture. So, relevant.
Step 2: Check against stories already published today (the list provided). We must see if this is substantially the same as any existing story.
Looking at the list of already covered stories:
– There are multiple entries about “Sika by Hammer Of The Last Two Ft Teephlow & Sarkodie” (but this is dancehall and African music, not reggae)
– “Trinidad and Tobago Celebrates 64 Years of Independence” (not directly about music)
– “UCOM Carnival rebrands as Exquisite Carnival” (carnival, but not the specific story here)
– “Dancing The Revolution: From Dancehall To Reggaetón” … (this is about a documentary, but not the same as a new reggae release)
– “Time Capsule Reveals Collection Of ’70s And ’80s Japanese Reggae” (this is about Japanese reggae collection, not the same)
– “A YouTube Video Compilation Of The Creative Use Of Handkerchiefs In African American (Soul) Line Dancing” (not reggae)
– “Video: Ziggy Marley, Kingsley Ben-Adir & Reinaldo Marcus Green @ One Love Reggae Japan in Tokyo 5/15/2024” (this is a specific event with Ziggy Marley, but the story here is a new single by Arise Roots and Rik Jam, so different)
– “Malie Donn steps up with debut album ‘The Golden Child’” (different artist)
– “Pioneering Shepherds Bush reggae label Greensleeves gets blue plaque” (about a label, but not the same event)
– “King Yellowman, Richie Stephens, Kashief Lindo headline free backyard bash in upstate New York” (a bash, but not the same as a new single release)
– … and others.
We see that there is no story that is about Arise Roots or Rik Jam or a new collaboration between a US roots reggae group and a Jamaican artist. The list does not have a story about this specific release.
Therefore, it is not substantially the same as any existing story.
