Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Rema teams up with American producer BNYX on “TANZANIA,” a collaboration from his forthcoming E-Mortal Boy (EMB) EP.
This pairing brings together two artists with different musical backgrounds. Rema has built his reputation through Afrobeats, alternative sounds and experimental records, while BNYX is known for his work with international hip-hop acts, including Drake, Travis Scott and Yeat.
“TANZANIA” gives Rema another opportunity to explore sounds outside his usual musical direction. BNYX brings his production experience into the collaboration, creating an interesting combination with the Nigerian singer’s melodic approach. Their meeting is particularly interesting because BNYX has largely been associated with American rap and trap production.
The song takes its name from the East African country, Tanzania. However, the exact story behind the title and the meaning of the lyrics have not been fully established. Rather than assume it is a travel-inspired record, listeners will have to hear the song and decide what the title means within its context.
“TANZANIA” is listed as the fourth track on Rema’s seven-song E-Mortal Boy (EMB) EP. The project also includes “Oh No,” “TEA,” “Velvet,” “SUGA” and other collaborations. Wizkid is listed on “Feel Alright,” while London and Kah-Lo appear on “Bang Bang.”
The EP follows Rema’s 2024 album HEIS and his earlier project RAVAGE. He continues to explore different musical directions while expanding his international collaborations.
