MJ Magazine – a publication that is known for its authentic representation of Jamaican music – describes Likkle Lightning‘s sound as a refreshing throwback; “taking us back to when Reggae & Dancehall was all about fun and good lyrics.”
Likkle Lightning moved from the capital of Jamaica, when he was a teenager to the rural countryside with his grandparents.

Without the distraction of the city, Likkle Lightning was able to learn the real roots of reggae and honed his craft as a songwriter.
He started his career by playing live shows with two of Jamaica’s most respected veteran reggae/dancehall artists: King Yellowman and Professor Nuts. Likkle Lightning climbed the Jamaican music scene rapidly. He began recording and producing his songs in 2011 on his own Sonhi Productions label. All this was done at the legendary Tuff Gong Studios (Bob Marley). It wasn’t long before Likkle Lightning was playing live shows internationally; opening up for established artists such as: Everton Blender (Jamaican Music Award Nominee), Warrior King (Marcus Garvey Award), Turbulence and so much more.
Likkle Lightning is also an avid campaigner for nurturing today’s youth; appearing on anti-gun and anti-crime platforms, as well as promoting non-violence in his lyrics and live shows. Whether it’s achieving radio plays across the globe or featuring in publications from The Star to The Observer, Likkle Lightning is on an unwavering rise in the reggae world. There is no telling where he will strike next.

Rebel Sound Records is proud to announce the release of Karamanti’s brand new single entitled, “Walk Out.” This is the latest track to come off the 805 Riddim produced by DJ JFX and Zack Reed.
“Walk Out” was inspired by the realization that most people are living their lives based on the negativity handed down by another person. It is the duty of those who have the strength to see past the negativity, to reach out to others and guide them away from soaking in the garbage. In her own words, Karamanti said the following: “All I’m saying on the song is that if they try to teach me their fears and / or negativity (which is what I see most of the world peddling) I’m walking out.”
We hope you enjoy the free download of the song below and please add it to your play lists and mixes today!
