Reminisce

Remilekun Safaru, known as Reminisce or Alaga Ibile, is a massive figure in Nigerian music and cinema.

Born in 1981, the versatile artist broke out by rapping in a powerful blend of Yoruba and English. This unique indigenous style quickly made him a street favorite across Nigeria. He proved his global appeal when Time Magazine named him a top international rapper to watch, and his album Baba Hafusa cracked the US Billboard World Music chart.

Beyond his catchy hits like Ponmile and Kako Bii Chicken, Reminisce completely reinvented his career through acting. He delivered a flawless, terrifying performance as the ruthless gangster Makanaki in the hit political thriller movie King of Boys.

Today, he remains a respected pioneer who seamlessly bridges the gap between old-school hip-hop grit, modern Afrobeats rhythms, and Nollywood cinema.
