Jamaican-born reggae and dancehall artiste, Shalkal, is back from the studio with a new song. In a recent interview with Standard Entertainment, Shalkal revealed that the inspiration for the track dubbed 'Karma' originated from the concept of karma as a powerful force of action and reaction. Shalkal explained how people often underestimate the realness of karma and its profound influence on their lives. According to him, karma operates as an inescapable force, wherein individuals create their own destiny with their actions, determining the nature of the reactions they receive.

"Karma is a force we cannot escape. It's essentially just action and reaction. People don't understand how real this is and it's a force that you can't escape from. People are sometimes unaware that they create their own karma every day," he says.
