New to the game but old to its’ ways, 22-year-old Melbourne lyricist Remi ‘REMI’ Kolawole exudes a unique style, rhythmic flow and an honest delivery.
Melbourne emcee Remi started writing rhymes in 2010, and soon met up with producer Sensible J, who introduced him to the likes of Phonte, Black Thought, Mos Def, and Common. At the start of this year he impressed us with 'Sangria' and then backed it up with 'Saggin' a fast-paced, big bubbly tune full of fun off his F Y G mixtape. Both were marked by catchy hooks and an effortless flow that's self-referential, and littered with pop-cultural titbits. He's supported Danny Brown, MED, and fellow RunForYourLife crew member N'fa Jones, and was a recent addition to the Falls Music and Arts Festival line-up. He's a young, evolving, forward thinking rapper who's got the goods; don't sleep on this kid.
