Blakkwuman22 Music Presents “GAP Riddim” (@Blakkwuman22)

Posted on August 7, 2022 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

GAP – an acronym for God Answer Prayer – is the title of the latest dancehall rhythm driven project from Blakkwuman22 Music. The just released compilation features several emerging dancehall artists, namely: Kerry Starr, Ras Bentley, M.A.P, Amnon, and label owner and producer Karamanti. It was inspired by the song God Answer Prayer, which was first featured on Karamanti‘s latest album – Spiritual Warfare – released in December.

As is the case with all undertakings at Blakkwuman22 Music, it was made clear to everyone involved that no negative and/or derogatory content would be accepted. To that end, all the songs are being tagged as inspirational dancehall; and most importantly, they all stand in direct contrast to the noise that is currently being used to mislead the masses.

Having publicly committed to injecting more conscious lyrics into the minds of youths via her music, Karamanti felt compelled to do the project and is pleased with the outcome. The beat for GAP Riddim was built by Lamar Thompson exclusively for Blakkwuman22 Music, and all songs were mixed and mastered by AudioTraxx Production.

The Gap Riddim is now available on all digital music platforms.

Effective Friday, July 29, The Journey Continue entered The Foundation Radio Network NY Top 20 Albums Charts in the #19 spot, and #15 on South Florida’s Top 15 Albums Chart.

Malawian Artist Nanto Peetah Collaborates With Karamanti On New Single “Prayer Babes”

Posted on August 5, 2022 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

Malawian dancehall-gospel artist Nanto Peetah is gearing up to release his first full-length studio album this year. The project – dubbed Ministry – will feature African artists Mady P (Don Gogo), Princi Musiq, Ababa Surgent and Jah Flavour; as well as Jamaican lyricist Karamanti.

Prayer Babes, the title of the just released single done with Karamanti, is already getting a lot of attention because so far it is the only international collaboration on the LP. Furthermore, a lot is being said about just how hard Karamanti delivered on the track.

On the afro-beat fused rhythm, the woman, often referred to as the most underrated female lyricist in Jamaican dancehall, asks:

Weh yu know bout prayer babes
when yu go inna di spirit and yu prayer blaze
time stop yu transform to a higher place
only ting weh matter now a word play
so weh yu say?

Call di name a di God yu praise
say it loud & proud mek heaven shake
gratitude yu fi use na na delay
yu cyaa loose if yu choose Jah Jah any day
mi Deejay!

Prayer Babes is now available on all digital music platforms.

Baby Cham & Bounty Killer’s New Collab Creating A Stir (@TheCham @grunggaadzilla)

Posted on August 5, 2022 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

Madhouse Records does it again! The dancehall imprint has just shared a tuff new tune called Blood Claat, performed by two well respected veterans in the genre: Bounty Killer and Baby Cham.

At the time of this writing – August 5th – Blood Claat has only been out a few hours and it is already trending. Aside from the fact that the song is done by Cham and Killer, the main reason it has taken off so quickly is because of the things the men are chanting about.

On the record both deejays outline a list of issues that are of serious concern to Jamaicans; and knowing that they are not being adequately addressed, they ‘cuss a Blood Claat.’
