In 2024, Rema continued to shine with the release of his second album, ‘HEIS,’ which he describes as an effort to return Afrobeats to its sonic roots.
The album features collaborations with fellow artist Shallipopi and rapper Odumodublvck. Rema has recently submitted the album for Grammy consideration, hoping to secure his first nomination.
