I love when they started talking about Frequecies and low vibrations...Rema seems so real, so calm...feels like he's telling us to all calm down with his aura.

My respect for Rema just doubled. Some artistes are just artistes, he’s an artiste and an intellectual.

[@iamnamystic2733]

This is what proper upbringing looks and sounds like. Much respect to this young king and wish him much more success. One word to describe: Responsible.

[@vinyl09]

I think Africans are naturally humble. i totally agree with Rema. We will tell you the truth in a humble way even through our music.

Busy signal really murdered that beat 😱 Rema just had to smile throughout

[@NaijaAmericana]

I'm Nigerian and grew up in US listening to rap and hip hop, but I was just telling some1 2day that I can't even listen to American rap and hip hop anymore cause everytime I do, I just feel a negative type of way. Hearing Rema talk about frequencies is a perfect way to put it.

[@come_on_barbie_123]

Yup. I'm blk American and it's starting to lose me. Just all around fun/ good vibes with afrobeats, and I don't think I can go back! I'm tired! The difference in vibes is everything!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@@sovraxmansa4144 I’m not Nigerian but omo means “child” in Yoruba, but in this circumstance, omo na wa oo as the person above said is an expression that’s said in a state of shock, excitement, even sometimes in bad situations etc if something is bad

@@Harmlessss you probably dont understand patwa or you listening to a different song. And what do you mean by "ours alone"? You are the type of people who brings divisivness into the misic thing.
