Known for his eclectic style that blends Afrobeat, trap, and pop, Rema continues to solidify his place at the forefront of the global music scene with this track.
Is It A Crime is an introspective, emotionally charged song that explores the themes of love, guilt, and self-reflection, and the accompanying visual does an excellent job of bringing those themes to life.
