Off his second studio album, “HEIS,” Nigerian music star Rema presents a new anthem dubbed “YAYO.”
Rema’s “YAYO” is a masterclass in musical creativity, pushing the boundaries of Afrobeats and redefining the genre’s possibilities.
The song’s production is a work of art, with Altims and P.Priime’s expertise shining through in every beat and melody.
The song’s hook is catchy and memorable, with Rema’s vocals showcasing his signature style and flair. The lyrics are thoughtful and relatable, exploring themes of love, relationships, and self-empowerment.
HEIS, the follow-up to Rave & Roses, arrives with hardly any warning and is packed with more of the freewheeling experimentation that Rema has built his reputation on.
The album—11 songs in under 30 minutes—sees Rema step into a new era as he reckons with the thrills of global stardom and the pressures of being at the forefront of Afropop.
It all feels like the work of a candid creator reminding his listeners that he’s still operating at the cutting edge of Afropop and laying the building blocks for the genre’s future.
Quotable Lyrics:
Early morn’
Early mo-morning, I dey bomb
I dey cash out on a norm’
I give all glory to God
I dey on soft, rocking Alexander Wang
I dey kpolo, I dey ball
Day and night we having fun
Yippy yayo, yippy yaya, yippy yayayo
All my guys we stay steady high oh
Mix the ganja with tobacco
Too many motor for my yard oh
I dey find how I go pack am oh
Money yakpa for my bank oh
How to make money is all I know (Yippy yayo, oh)
Yippy yayo, yippy yaya, yippy yayayo (Yippy yayo, oh)
