Karamanti will be performing in France for the first time this coming September. Her appearance in that country is a part of her 2016 Euro tour, titled, Music With Substance Tour, made possible by Jam Link International. She will be doing a series of interviews and live shows in and around Paris from September 1st through to the 20th.

In addition to her presentations in France, Karamanti is also expected to play in Germany and Denmark. Unlike her previous European appearances, the Music With Substance Tour will be a predominantly Reggae tour with only a few dancehall tracks added to the show list. Patrons can expect to hear songs like “natty nah grow” which seems to be a favorite by Reggae lovers in France (https://youtube.com/watch?v=ROlCZu-4wMg); “Domestic Abuse,” “Gye Nyame” and even “right now” which was recorded for Phamily Productions back in 2011.

Persons wanting to work with Karamanti while she is in France may use the contact info on the attached poster. Another option is to send an email to her label at blakkwuman22@gmail.com.

Britain based Reggae/Dancehall artist Peppery has just wrapped up the shoot for his latest release, “everybody.” Recorded on the Just Believe Riddim from Blakkwuman22 Music and ODB Records, “everybody” is one of those songs that speak out against the selfish tendencies of persons, particularly within the entertainment industry, who covets their colleague’s achievements. As oppose to directly addressing those acting in a jealous manner however, Peppery, in his wisdom, decided to encourage the ones who are on the receiving end of this type of behavior.

In his song he says:
Hataz a pree you but a no you one
Dem no like you because you buy di new van
Some a dem wi grudge you for a few grand
A Gideon, put your boot on…

In an effort to capture the message of the track, Peppery created a studio scene which shows a fellow artist acting abominably towards him because of his recent musical accomplishments. Additional scenes include a conversation between him and his label mate, in which he is counseling his mate on the importance of staying strong amidst the haters.

Although all his scenes were captured in Manchester, UK, a few additional shots will be taken in Jamaica before editing begins. The song “everybody” can be downloaded here: http://tinyurl.com/z45ulye
