Rema is back with another genre-blending masterpiece. The Grammy-nominated artist and producer has officially released the full-length version of his latest single, “Baby (Is It A Crime).” After months of teasing snippets across social media, the wait is finally over. And fans are already hailing the track as an instant classic.
What makes this release even more special is the sample of Sade’s iconic 1985 hit “Is It A Crime”, a move that bridges generations of soulful, heartfelt music. Rema, known for his ability to effortlessly fuse Afrobeats, R&B, and alternative sounds, breathes new life into the classic, creating a modern, intoxicating sonic experience.
The song’s journey began last year during a studio session in Kenya, where a spark of inspiration turned into what is now one of Rema’s smoothest records to date. It’s a testament to his ever-evolving artistry, proving that he isn’t just riding the Afrobeats wave—he’s shaping its future.

The music video adds even more depth to the track’s already captivating energy. With his signature cinematic visuals and artistic storytelling, fans can expect another must-watch release.
As the world waits to see what else Rema has up his sleeve this year, he is making one thing clear. He continues to push boundaries, merge cultures, and redefine what modern music sounds like. Is it a crime to be this good? Absolutely not.
