Rema’s Freestyle EP, released in June 2019, was a crucial project that solidified his reputation as a versatile prodigy shortly after his debut. The four-track collection was a curated and mastered collection of viral freestyles he had teased online, giving it a raw, spontaneous energy.
The EP, featuring standouts like American Love, served as a genre-blending blueprint for his emerging sound. It deftly fused the rhythms of Afrobeats with the darker, grittier elements of Trap and Hip-Hop, proving Rema could master any cadence or beat presented to him.
This project was key to cementing his status as an unpredictable and multi-faceted artist capable of dominating both local and international soundscapes, ensuring his breakout success was built on genuine and raw skill.
