Reminisce’s ‘Sui Generis’; Reminisce’s latest EP, Sui Generis, showcases his unmatched versatility across hip hop, Fuji, and Afrobeats. Following his fifth LP, Alaye Toh Se Gogo (ATSG), Sui Generis continues his artistic evolution, featuring hard-hitting rap tracks, Afrobeats party starters, and heartfelt Fuji tributes.

In Kupe, Reminisce affirms his legendary status in Nigerian hip hop, showcasing his timeless appeal. As a grounded family man at 43, he distances himself from the gimmicks of his peers, making music that reflects his mature outlook while staying authentic to his lifestyle.

On Ire, a mid-tempo track, Reminisce celebrates his journey with a soulful hook from Bhadboi OML, reinforcing his desire to enjoy life on his own terms. His deep connection to Fuji music is evident in The Ultimate, where he honors the legendary Wasiu Ayinde and teams up with Vector for a big-man style love song. He further leans into his Fuji roots on Owo, blending indigenous instruments with his baritone melodies to narrate his success story.

Reminisce’s mainstream appeal continues with the uptempo Up As Fxck, where his dynamic rap flows effortlessly match BadBoy Timz’s infectious hook. True to his reputation for nurturing new talent, he shares the stage with Easyscope, Logos Olori, and Bardbanks on Scopatumana, a pulsating track driven by log drum rhythms.

In signature Reminisce style, Sui Generis also features a steamy track, Backshots, with rising star Lucid. On this track, Reminisce embraces his grown-man persona, delivering unabashedly sensual lyrics without holding back.

With just 19 minutes of playtime, Sui Generis serves as a powerful reminder that Reminisce remains in a league of his own. He continues to blend multiple genres, support rising artists, and speak directly to his loyal, mature audience, cementing his enduring legacy in Nigerian music.
