REMI

Australia’s Remi (full name Remi Kolawole) will be making his US debut at SXSW 2015.
Recently the Guarding rallied behind Remi’s song “Tyson”, which they called “full of stylish swagger and nicely-controlled aggression not usually seen in chilled out skip-hop.”



Remi’s US debut album is called Raw X Infinity, set for release April 2015.
