Nigerian global sensation Rema wrapped up a stellar year by releasing the official music video for fan-favorite track Ozeba (Edo for “trouble” or “conflict”). Taken from his critically acclaimed, Grammy-nominated album Heis, the track has become a staple at Rema’s live performances, celebrated for its powerful, menacing sound. Directed by Jackson Forsythe, the cinematic video pays homage to its namesake—a cult classic horror film from Benin, Nigeria. The “Ozeba” video takes viewers deep into a thrilling visual journey, blending Afrobeats’ infectious grooves with a chilling homage to Nigerian horror. Forsythe’s direction amplifies the song’s dramatic tones, setting Rema’s commanding performance against a backdrop of shadowy, suspenseful imagery.
Released earlier this year, “Heis” has garnered accolades from fans and critics alike, earning a Grammy nomination for Best Global Music Album and securing spots on multiple Best Of 2024 lists. Rolling Stone called it “the strongest contender for the best Afrobeats album of the year,” while NPR described it as “bold, shadowy, roving, and all-consuming.” Across its 11 tracks, “Heis” delivers a powerful mix of feverish anthems and introspective masterpieces, showcasing Rema’s versatility and bold vision.
