Rema, the young prodigy who has taken the global music scene by storm, has returned with his latest project titled “RAVAGE.” This five-track EP is a testament to his remarkable talent and features production work from industry heavyweights like London, Blaise Beatz, and P Prime.

The EP includes other tracks like “DND,” a heartfelt plea for privacy, and “Smooth Criminal,” celebrating Rema’s artistic evolution. However, the relentless pursuit of success takes its toll on tracks like “Don’t Leave.” The EP concludes with “Red Potion,” a mesmerizing narrative of potential lovers treading cautiously, knowing that playing with fire may lead to unforeseen consequences.
