Karamanti has won the August 2018 Akademia Music Award for Best World Beat Song for ‘Be Yourself’! To be distinguished for creative excellence among a crowded playing field is an important achievement. Yet, equally important is the process of sharing this achievement with a broader base of music industry professionals. That is something that Akademia is committed to doing for Karamanti in order to increase her recognition and exposure.

For this purpose, they have prepared a custom press release – an Artist Spotlight – that they will be sharing in the coming weeks with industry contacts outside of the Akademia, including record executives, A&R staff, producers, publishers and many more, all focused on urban genres.

On July 20th, Blakkwuman22 Music in collaboration with Rebel Sound Records will release a brand new single by Karamanti titled “Walkout.” The connection between Rebel Sound Records and the BW22’s CEO was made through Karamanti’s publicist, MJE.

“Walkout” is a hardcore dancehall track in which Karamanti makes it clear that she will not conform, and/or go along to get along. DJs and industry insiders can email us at Blakkwuman22@gmail.com for a promo mp3, while everyone else will have to wait until July 20th when it will be available via music stores.

Dancehall artist Jemynie just voiced on the Long Road Riddim, which will be released on the Blakkwuman22 Music label. His song is now being mixed by Prosonic Production, the company contracted to mix and master all songs on rhythm. Other artists that will be on the project are label owner Karamanti & Linstead based artist Ceekaih (who’s song was previously teased out).

Karamanti’s single “Imagine That,” which was released earlier this year, has been added to Mystique’s Reggae Top 20 Chart. The chart usually presents current trending reggae and dancehall songs, while encouraging members of the public to vote for the record they think is the best.

“Imagine That” has been in heavy rotation (both on radio and in the clubs) since its release. The official video, which was published in early March features popular Jamaican dance group, Street Team.
