The ‘ No Kissing Baby’ singer will however be releasing his debut album. With the announcement of El-Hadj, Reminisce has joined reggae-dancehall artist Patoranking in having an album out by August.

He developed his rapping skills by emulating rappers like Nas, Jay Z and Snoop. Reminisce was born on the 26th of January, in Kaduna state, Northern Nigeria. Reminisce was born and brought up in Kaduna State, Nigeria. The album had guest spots filled by Wizkid, Davido, Naeto C and Olamide.Īccording to Reminisce, the new album will be released sometime in August, although a specific date was not mentioned. Nigerian rapper, versatile musician, singer, and songwriter, Remilekun Abdulkalid Safaru, known by his stage name Reminisce or ALAGA IBILE, turned 40 today. Remilekun Abdulkalid Safaru, best known by his stage names Reminisce and ALAGA IBILE, was born on 26 January 1981 in Kaduna State, Northern part of Nigeria. Talk about Hip-hop Naija and you’ll agree with me that Olamide Badoo is an indigenous rapper i.e he raps in his mother tongue in this case which is Yoruba. He was born on 5 th of March 1989 in Bariga, Lagos, Nigeria. The album indicated the rapper’s potential rise, yet it was with his sophomore effort released the following year, Alaga Ibile, that he began to enjoy a wide audience. First on my list of best rappers in Nigeria is Olamide Adedeji popularly known by his stage name Olamide badoo. The album housed the hit tunes ‘Kako Bi Chicken’ and ‘2Mussh’. Reminisce’s first album Book of Rap Stories was released in 2012. Also, the song ‘Nobody Knows’ featuring 2Baba hit the internet only a couple of days before the new album alert as posted on social media by the ‘Local Rapper’ singer. In between both albums, Reminisce has released a number of singles, notably ‘Asalamalekun’ and its remix featuring the Nigerian-American rapper Wale. Reminisce, renowned for sexual virility boasts and slut shaming, has come up with a song that merges pleas and mild threats. While that album was named after his daughter Hafusa, the forthcoming one has a title which reflects Reminisce’s Muslim faith. Named El-Hadj, a title usually conferred on one who has completed the pilgrimage to Mecca, the album’s recently released cover art shows the rapper biting his lower lip, revealing one gold tooth - an accessory said to be permissible in Islam by some scholars. Baba Hafusa, his third and latest album, was well received, a few of the album's singles becoming modest hits.
