In collaboration with Minoda Beats, Blakkwuman22 Music has unveiled “Tabula Rasa Riddim,” a meticulously crafted six-track dancehall compilation produced by Karamanti. Officially released at the close of February 2025, this project spotlights new compositions by emerging artists George P, Yahdeen Essence, Falco DiGeneral, alongside Karamanti, who serves as the CEO and proprietor of Blakkwuman22 Music, as well as Zimbabwean artist Pops Jabu.
The foundational rhythm for “Tabula Rasa” was composed by Mindo Beats, with additional instrumental contributions by Lamar Thompson. The complete compilation has been expertly mixed and mastered by Audio Traxx Production, located in Old Harbour, St. Catherine, and is being distributed solely by Blakkwuman22 Music.
Blakkwuman22 Music is renowned for its commitment to releasing music that is both clean and conscious, and this latest compilation reinforces that reputation. Both Karamanti and Yahdeen Essence, who are known for their faith, have contributed tracks inspired by Biblical scriptures (Genesis 4:7 and Praise). In his track titled “Values,” Falco DiGeneral addresses the decline of moral values among today’s youth, while George P offers a heartfelt dedication to a romantic interest in “Unconditional Love.” As she customarily does in her compilations, Karamanti features two tracks. Her second is a collaborative effort with Pops Jabu titled “Jama ZimZim.” It celebrates themes of Black empowerment, love, and unity.
The “Tabula Rasa Riddim” is accessible on all prominent music platforms, including Bandcamp and SoundCloud. Additionally, the official music video for Karamanti’s track “Genesis 4:7” is available for viewing on her YouTube channel.
