Talented musician Rema has premiered his highly awaited debut album titled \u2018Rave and Roses\u2019, three years after he made his record-breaking entry into the Nigerian music industry with the energetic self-titled \u2018Rema\u2019 EP.<\/h4>\n

The \u2018Rema\u2019 EP contributed to the development and acceptance of Extended Playlists (EP) in the music industry in Nigeria with Rema himself serving as a leader of the new generation musicians, using the internet and social media to his advantage as major tools for his music promotions and career growth.<\/p>\n

Rema, signed to Jonzing World, a subsidiary of the Don Jazzy-led Mavin Records, positioned himself as the future of Afrobeats and later defined his music genre as Afro-Rave, infusing his unique singing style alongside other elements of African music and instruments to create his unique music brand.<\/p>\n

The then 19-year-old newbie took the world on a journey into his creativity, churning out hits upon hits just as he was born to do. Rema, real name Divine Ikubor, made himself a household name sooner than expected by a good deal of music key players and extended his tentacles into the African and International scenes through strategic campaigns and collaborations with other musicians across the globe.<\/p>\n
