Posted on 29 July 2022

Comprehending this scary world that had him flipped around for too long as he struggled to be accepted, Kamanda takes time to drop an important message for all those who feel like giving up right now on ‘Stuck in the Spotlight‘ (feat. Regikay).

Kamanda is a Liberia-born, Newcastle, Australia-based indie hip hop artist who courageously moved with his family from West Africa in 2005.

”Growing up in a musical family, Kamanda started writing Poetry, Rapping and Singing at age 9, thereafter spent years working on improving his Rapping and songwriting skills.” ~ Kamanda

Moving away from the doubt-fueled clouds up above that threatened to storm on him like an angry tornado, Kamanda has a presence that is mightily astute. He raps about damaging moments in the past that have now made him so much more self-enlightened. Gloriously, too. His persona is humble, brave and his wizard-like wordplay has you tuned in for the show.

”Kamanda raps about his life, his struggles and overcoming hard times, his music is spiritual.” ~ Kamanda

‘Stuck in the Spotlight‘ (feat. Regikay) from Australia-based indie hip hop artist Kamanda is certainly an impressive performance from a rising artist with plenty of that much-needed grit, style and persistent attitude that makes him someone to ultimately get behind. There are powerful statements to get lost inside, too. Packed with a timeless edge, this is a song for anyone who has ever been an underdog at some stage in their life.

Kamanda is a voice of compassionate reason in his latest melodic hip hop single, HETTIE II

Posted on 13 July 2022

Liberia, West Africa-born, Newcastle, Australia-residing artist, Kamanda went into his latest pop meets new wave hip hop single, HETTIE II, with his soul blazing. If you’re anything like me, and it has been a while since you appreciated the irony of our existence, this contemporary feat of lyrically melodic hip hop has all the makings of a playlist staple.

From arresting lyrical lines, “we kill each other just for attention, my legs are getting tired from trying to chase to perfection”, to resonant admissions of depression and anxiety that are more a symptom of our society rather than our individual minds, it felt like Kamanda ran through every source of grief I feel for our contemporary existence.

Kamanda started rapping and writing at the age of nine. In 2022, his ability to open eyes to the psychological pitfalls we blindly plunge into is beyond sharp. And if I’m being completely honest, hearing the yearning for fairness and peace within the uplifting indie production that knows just where to stab with the minor keys choked me up before the first verse ran through.

HETTIE II is now available to stream on Spotify.

Kamanda feels blessed that he is still breathing as he shows us to stay true to ourselves on, ‘Tighes Hill Memories’ (feat. Regikay)

Posted on 20 February 2022

With a soothing environment that is sealed with a head-nodding beat and quality vocals, Kamanda knows that the past shall never define him as he takes us back to where it all started on ‘Tighes Hill Memories‘ (feat. Regikay).

Kamanda is a Liberia-born, Australia-based indie Hip hop artist who rivets the airwaves with accounts about what happened before and he vows to silence those who doubted him before through his lyrical acumen.

”I write lyrics about my life, my struggles & overcoming hard times.” ~ Kamanda

Pulsating the mic awake with a smooth flow and smartly contested bars that have you feeling rather refreshed like a cold shower after a scorching day outside dealing with fools, Kamanda dusts off the doubts and keeps us in the loop of where he is headed. It feels like he has a smart head on his shoulders on knows where he needs to be in order to succeed, on a track that will light up your mood like candles on a date night with that genuine lover.

‘Tighes Hill Memories‘ (feat. Regikay) from the Newcastle, Australia-based indie Hip hop artist Kamanda, is a wall-around-my-heart message that urges us to stay real and to never falter from that path. With advice from his Grandma and a determined outlook on life – this is that true message that so many need to hear again and again until it sinks in like glue – that fills you up with hope after hearing those small-minded naysayers try and bring you down to their level for too long.
