Early Life and Education
Reminisce was born on January 26, 1981, in the Northern part of Nigeria, in Kaduna state. He is from Ajilete, Yewa South LGA in Ogun State, in the western part of Nigeria. He had his primary and secondary school education in Kaduna State, Nigeria, before proceeding to Kwara State Polytechnic, where he studied purchasing and supply.
He dreamed of becoming a rapper as a child. Reminisce was raised in a family that was supportive of his goals. Each time, he focused on improving his abilities. He was interested in many types of local and foreign music while in high school and participated in school activities as a performer. He studied the raps of artists like Nas, Jay-Z, and Snoop Dogg to hone his craft.
Career
He recorded his first song in a studio in 2006 and a hardcore rap album at Coded Tunes, but the album was never released because he chose to concentrate on his studies and finish high school. In 2008, Reminisce made a comeback to the music scene by contributing a rap verse to the song “Bachelor’s Life” from 9ice’s follow-up album, “Gongo Aso.” His debut song, “Ever Since,” with 9ice, told the tale of his life up to that point. His second song, “If Only,” a love song with Dtunez production, displayed his range as a singer and a rapper. Reminisce became well-known in the Nigerian music scene thanks to both songs.
Reminisce was listed as one of the seven “World Rappers You Should Meet” in 2014 by TIME Magazine. He was also listed as one of the top three hip-hop musicians of 2014 by the Nigerian music website NotJustOk. Fans’ reactions to his 2015 song “Local Rappers,” in which he collaborated with Olamide and Phyno, were contentious since many believed it was directed towards rappers who use the English language, including MI and Mode9.
In addition to putting out singles and albums, Reminisce has collaborated with several great musicians, including Phenom on “ASHEWO,” MI Abaga on “Shekpe,” and Mr Eazi on “If E No Be God,” and DJ Enimoney on “Diet.”
