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 is a curated and mastered collection of viral freestyles he had teased online.
The EP, featuring standouts like American Love, serves as a blueprint for his emerging sound. It deftly fuses the rhythms of Afrobeats with the darker, grittier elements of Trap and Hip-Hop, proving Rema can master any cadence or beat presented to him.
This project is key to cementing his status as an unpredictable and multi-faceted artist capable of dominating both local and international soundscapes. It has also helped in standing his breakout success on genuine and raw skill.
