Episode 4: The Music Video – "Fire, Love, Rain"

After the crazy success of his first fan-made song, Remi knew he had to take it to the next level.

A music video.

He had no fancy budget. No big production crew. Just his phone, a tripod, and his city as his stage.

Music Video Title:

"Fire, Love, Rain – Official Music Video (Shot on iPhone!)"

Thumbnail:

A dramatic shot of Remi standing in the rain at night, with fire visuals edited behind him. The title "Fire, Love, Rain – Official Video" is in bold white and red letters.

How He Shot the Video:

Scene 1: Remi in a small apartment, writing in his journal (to show where it all started).

Scene 2: Him standing under a streetlight in the rain, singing the chorus.

Scene 3: Quick shots of fire effects behind him as he sings the line "We were fire, I was rain."

Scene 4: A dramatic slow-motion scene of him walking alone at night, deep in thought.

Scene 5: Back to his journal, crossing out the word "Love", symbolizing heartbreak.

Scene 6: The final shot—him looking straight into the camera as the rain pours down, fading to black.

Would he stay independent? Would a record label come knocking?

Episode 5: Turning Down the Label & Dropping "Like The Stars Shine"

After his music video "Fire, Love, Rain" blew up, Remi's inbox was flooded with messages. But one stood out.

A record label wanted to sign him.

The Offer

The label promised him everything—money, a big studio, features with big artists.

But there was a catch.

They wanted full control over his music. No more fan-made songs, no more freedom to create what he wanted.

Remi sat in his small apartment, staring at the contract. Then, he ripped it in half.

He wasn’t about to sell his soul. He had built this on his own, and he wasn’t about to let anyone take it from him.

Back to the Music

Instead of signing the deal, he went back to what got him here—his fans.

He scrolled through the comments on his last video and saw three words that stood out:

Stars, Ocean, Fate – Comment by @AfroDreamer

That was it. His next song.

Song Title:

"Like The Stars Shine"

Lyrics (Afrobeats, Pidgin Style):

(Intro)

Eh eh eh

Oh na na na

Rema dey here so

Vibes pon vibes

(Verse 1)

I look up, see the stars dey shine

Dem dey tell me say my time go come

Ocean deep, but I go still dey climb

Destiny don call me, e no go run

(Pre-Chorus)

Oh mama say make I no fear

Papa say make I stand clear

Enemies dem go wan tear

But Jah go guide me anywhere

(Chorus)

Like the stars shine (shine!)

I go rise, I no go fall

Like the ocean, I go wide (wide!)

Destiny dey call my soul

(Verse 2)

Dem say make I sign but I no go sell

I go do my way, I no go fail

Money come, money go, but peace of mind

Na the only thing wey go sweet my life

(Bridge)

No matter wetin dem talk, I dey shine

I dey shine, I dey shine

Like the stars for the sky, I dey shine

I dey shine, I dey shine

(Outro)

Eh eh eh

Oh na na na

Rema dey here so

Vibes pon vibes

Shoutout in the Video:

"Big shoutout to @AfroDreamer for the words Stars, Ocean, Fate. Y’all keep dropping words in the comments, and I’ll keep making magic!"

Episode 6: Remi’s First Paid Show & His Yoruba Hit

Remi was no longer just a small artist making songs from comments. He was now booked for his first paid show.

A club in Lagos offered him ₦500,000 to perform. It wasn’t stadium money, but for an independent artist, this was huge.

He had one shot to prove himself.

The Big Decision – A Yoruba Song

Instead of playing it safe, Remi decided to take a risk.

He was going to perform a brand-new song—fully in Yoruba.

His grandma always told him:

"If you wan touch people heart, sing for dem in their own tongue."

So, he did.

Song Title:

"Ayanfe Mi" (My Love)

Lyrics (Afrobeats, Yoruba Style):

(Intro)

Oh oh oh oh

Kilode to n fi mi sile? (Why are you leaving me?)

Mo fe so fun e oh (I want to tell you)

Ayanfe mi, baby

(Verse 1)

Gbogbo aiye mo, iwo nikan ni mo fe (The whole world knows, you’re the only one I want)

Omo to rewa, bi osupa n’ile (A beautiful girl, like the moon in the sky)

Mo le fun e laye, mo le fun e fe (I can give you the world, I can give you love)

Sugbon ma fi mi sile (But don’t leave me)

(Pre-Chorus)

Je ka joko, je ka soro (Let’s sit down, let’s talk)

Ma se tan mi, ma se lo (Don’t deceive me, don’t leave)

Mo mo pe iwo l’okan mi fe (I know it’s you my heart wants)

Ayanfe mi, ayanfe mi (My love, my love)

(Chorus)

Ayanfe mi, se o ma wa? (My love, will you stay?)

Mo fe e titi lailai (I want you forever)

Okan mi fe e (My heart wants you)

Baby, ma se lo (Baby, don’t leave)

(Verse 2)

Gbogbo aye mo, mo tun so (The whole world knows, I’ll say it again)

Mo fe e ju gbogbo awon girls lo (I want you more than all the other girls)

Ko si eni to le gba e (No one can take you from me)

Ayanfe mi, ma se lo (My love, don’t leave)

(Outro)

Oh oh oh oh

Kilode to n fi mi sile?

Mo fe so fun e oh

Ayanfe mi, baby

The Performance

The club was packed.

The moment the beat dropped, the crowd went wild.

When Remi sang in deep Yoruba, the audience felt it.

Some people even started crying—his voice carried emotion.

By the end, the entire club was singing the chorus with him.

That was the moment.

Remi wasn’t just a YouTube artist anymore. He was a true musician.

After his first paid show, Remi’s name was everywhere.

This wasn’t a club performance. This was real pressure.

The Preparation

Remi locked himself in his apartment, writing, practicing, and making sure everything was perfect.

He knew this was his moment. If he killed this show, he wouldn’t just be a rising artist—he’d be a superstar.

The Song for the Festival

Remi wanted a song that would make everyone jump.

He picked three Yoruba words from his fans:

Igba (Time)

Ina (Fire)

Ogo (Glory)

He named the song "Ina Ogo" (Fire of Glory).

Song Lyrics (Afrobeats, Yoruba Style)

(Pre-Chorus)

Gbogbo aye mo pe mo wa lori (The whole world knows I’m on top)

We dey shine, no stop

The Performance

The crowd was insane.

As soon as the beat dropped, people started jumping.

Remi owned the stage.

By the end of the performance, everyone was chanting:

"Ina Ogo! Ina Ogo!"

The Song: "No Handouts"

(Genre: UK Drill x Melodic Rap)

Lyrics:

(Intro – Central Cee)

Yo, Remi, let’s talk to 'em

No handouts, yeah, we came from nothin’

(Verse 1 – Central Cee)

I came up from the trenches, had no favors

Took my shot, now I ball like the Lakers

They see the shine, but don’t see the struggle

I had to hustle, I had to juggle

(Chorus – Remi, melodic)

No handouts, we took the stairs (Yeah)

Nobody was there, we made it fair

Came from the dirt, now we in the air

Now we pull up, they stop and stare

(Verse 2 – Remi, UK rap flow)

Yeah, I came from Lagos, no passport (Skrrt)

Now they see me on a billboard, transport

Used to hustle in the rain, now the team got jackets

Now I’m overseas, never needed a packet

Man, I came up broke, had to chase that bag

Now they pree my name, wanna make that tag

No love when I started, no one showed up

Now they wanna claim they know us

(Bridge – Central Cee & Remi)

Cee: Yo, Remi, they never believed in us

Remi: But we made ‘em see

Cee: Now we count these racks,

Remi: But it still don’t change the streets

(Chorus – Remi, melodic)

No handouts, we took the stairs (Yeah)

Nobody was there, we made it fair

Came from the dirt, now we in the air

Now we pull up, they stop and stare
