Prime, and Blaise Beatz. Rema explores thematic elements that adorned the Rave & Roses album, embracing the persona of the anti-hero, a departure from the conventional hero’s role.

One of the standout tracks, ‘DND,’ produced by P. Prime, sees Rema boldly declaring his detachment from societal expectations, with lyrics like, “Ṣe I wan good ṣe I wan bad? Ṣe I wan real ṣe I wan fake? Me I no do again.” This statement encapsulates the essence of the project, characterized by a fearless embrace of individuality and a refusal to conform to external judgments and opinions.

In ‘Smooth Criminal,’ he boldly asserts his claim as the “Prince of Afrobeats,” further solidifying his position as a dedicated mover of the genre.

The Rema Ravage EP is a bold and captivating musical journey that showcases his versatility, growth, and commitment to the Afrobeats genre. With its compelling narratives, unique sonic landscapes, and fearless individuality, this EP is a testament to his artistry.

His words shed light on the core ethos of the project as he explains, “On this project, I connect with my inner flame, my inner rage. It’s like an outburst from inside me that I’ve held in for too long. It’s not fueled with negativity, rather it’s fueled with drive, passion, and destiny. What people will hear on this project is a little exhale from me, only it comes with fire.”
