The track “Dumebi” isn’t just a song but the 2019 rocket fuel that launched Rema from a talented newcomer into a global sensation. As the standout track from his debut EP, Rema, this song instantly defined his signature blend of Afrobeats. Lyrically, the song tells a simple, relatable story of teenage obsession. So, even if you didn’t catch the mix of Nigerian Pidgin and local dialects, the infectious rhythm made moving your body mandatory.
