Rema feat. Shallipopi — Benin Boys 

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 is an ode to the city’s rich cultural history and its people.

The single’s artwork pays homage to the city’s symbols, including the Benin Bronzes and bats—both of which are fixtures in the Benin sky. 

Having teased the song earlier this week, the dynamic and highly infectious song is now officially available on all major platforms and is the No. 1 song on Apple Music Ng Charts in less than 12 hours since its release. 

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 colourful and surefire hit from the Afrobeat luminaries.
