Karamanti has just entered into an album deal with New Jersey based Arioso Legato Music. This means that the artist will be releasing a full studio album before the end of 2018. Alfonso R. Mitchell-Rios, the producer and CEO at Arioso Legato Music, is known for creating rap / hip-hop sounding rhythms, so Karamanti’s fans and supporters will be treated to a completely different side of the artist.

The first single from the not yet named album is “Be Yourself.” This is a record which: 1) encourages persons to seek answers and directions from within as oppose to without, and 2) be their authentic self.
Members of the public can download “Be Yourself” from Karamanti’s digital store, while DJs and industry insiders can request a copy of the song by contact MJE, Karamanti’s publicist or Blakkwuman22 Music, her record label.
