In a few weeks Blakkwuman22 Music, the record label owned and operated by dancehall artist Karamanti, will release the Restart Riddim. This is a hardcore dancehall juggling that will feature new music from various artists. Among those that will be on the project is popular Jackson Town deejay Lion Face I-Talawah.
Lion‘s new song will be a follow up to his now trending single, Survivor, which was shared earlier in the year on the Mountain Top Riddim (Haile Cush Records). Although that compilation featured mega stars like Jah Mason and Fantan Mojah, it was Lion Face‘s Survivor that captured the attention of the masses.
In an effort to maintain the momentum, two days ago Lion Face joined Karamanti in the studio and recorded a powerful song titled Truth. On the record, the hardcore lyricist touched on everything from the lowest form of poverty to the highest form of corruption; all while highlighting his Rastafarian faith.
As the Restart Riddim is still in the production phase, persons are encouraged to download Survivor via the link below, while we await Lion Face I-Talawah‘s new song, Truth.
On Friday, August 6th, reggae royalty Jimmy Cliff blessed us all with a beautiful new song titled Human Touch. The soothing record is all about the importance of in-person contact, while appreciating how social media have been able to keep us connected, especially through the pandemic.
