Rema Returns With New Single “Benin Boys” Feat. Shalipoppi
Fresh from Paris Fashion week, global superstar and Mavin Global/Jonzing World artist Rema has released a brand-new song titled “Benin Boys” featuring rising Nigerian artist Shalipoppi.
The song is a tribute to Benin City, from which they both hail and an ode to the city’s rich cultural history and people.
The single art pays homage to the city’s symbols including the Benin Bronzes and bats — a fixture in the Benin sky. Having teased the song earlier this week, the dynamic and highly infectious song is now officially available across all major platforms.
Produced by Yo X, the layered and energetic production mirrors the infectious personalities of both Rema and Shallipopi. It provides an unobstructed runway for the pair to trade verses and masterful lyricism touching on the pride of their city like “You touch a Benin boy, you touch the full nation.” A track that begs repeating, “Benin Boys” is a colorful and surefire hit from the Afrobeat luminaries.
