OK just a couple of days ago I was discussing with a Friend about how much work REMINISCE aka ALAGA IBILE put in his most recent album “ALAGA IBILE” and the Events he has been gracing. Not just the stages he climbs to sing but also the Lectures he has been delivering in different school, talents shows he has been judging and all and no doubt we finally accepted that the LION Roar was getting Louder…Only for us to stumble on this…”TIME MAGAZINE LIST REMINISCE AS WORLD RAPPER YOU SHOULD MEET”… Do we now need to say more…Watch and Enjoy!!!
It’s definitely something to smile about for rapper REMINISCE and his team at Edge Records as the self-styled “Alaga Ibile” was recently listed as one of TIME MAGAZINE’s “World Rappers You Should Meet”.
REMINISCE, born Alhaji Khalid Shafaru Remilekun, is one of Africa’s most talented indigenous rappers, who has honed his craft using the rich imagery of the Yoruba language to make rap music for an audience that boasts an impressive repertoire of various demographies of music consumers.
On making the TIME MAGAZINE list, REMINISCE says “It feels wonderful when people appreciate how you use your gift. I am very honored to have been named among these other great rappers and know that indigenous African music plays a most important role in global music culture”
REMINISCE who won the City People Award for “Rap Album of The Year” weeks back is nominated in three categories at the Nigeria Entertainment Awards 2014; “Best Collabo” (Daddy featuring Davido), “Best Indigenous Artist” and “Best Rap Act Of The Year”.
