Rema has surprise dropped his second studio album, HEIS.
At its heart, HEIS reflects Rema's desire to return Afrobeats to its purest form. It emphasises that music's true purpose is to make people dance, free from excessive frills, marketing, and fuss. Through this album, Rema aspires for listeners to gain a deeper understanding of him, his origins, and his values. Africa, Nigeria, and Benin City are the central themes binding the project together.
His debut album Rave & Roses Ultra, was followed by a new chapter with his RAVAGE EP.
