Rema New EP: E-Mortal Boy Arrives November 20 After TEA and Oh No
New Rema music is coming next week. The Rema new EP is called E-Mortal Boy, or EMB for short, and it will be out on Friday, November 20, 2026. He confirmed the date himself on Instagram on Wednesday, November 11, in a short post that read: “E-Mortal Boy EP – Nov 20th 💿 presave linkinbio / Tracklist soon”.
The post passed 110,000 likes in less than a day. BellaNaija reports that the project has seven tracks, which makes it his first EP since Ravage in 2023.
What We Know About E-Mortal Boy
The release date is set, and fans can already pre-save the EP through the link in his Instagram bio. The tracklist and the names of any guest artists are still to come, since Rema’s own post says only that the tracklist is coming “soon”.
According to BellaNaija, two songs fans already know lead the project. The first is “TEA”, which came out on Friday, August 7, 2026, with a music video. It was Rema’s first solo single of the year, produced by Mustard with extra production from London, his longtime producer. The second is “Oh No”, which he teased on September 9 and released on September 11 with a video, writing “Oh No out w visuals . Enjoy” on Instagram.
He has also been dropping hints for weeks. On October 10, he posted a picture with the caption “EMB” and a disc emoji, and on October 27 he shared another post tagged “#EMB”. The November 11 post finally gave fans the full title and a date.
The name is a play on “immortal”, and it fits the bold, larger-than-life image Rema has built since his early days. The EP will come out through Mavin Records and Jonzing World, the label set up by Don Jazzy and his brother D’Prince that first signed him.
Rema’s First Project Since HEIS
E-Mortal Boy is Rema’s first full project since his second album, HEIS, in 2024. Before that came the Ravage EP in 2023 and his debut album, Rave & Roses, on March 25, 2022.
That debut album changed his career. It carried “Calm Down”, which came out on February 11, 2022, and became a worldwide hit after a remix with Selena Gomez on August 25, 2022. The song peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100, the highest any Afrobeats song has reached on that chart. In September 2023, it became the first song led by an African artist to pass one billion streams on Spotify.
He has stayed busy in 2026 even without a full project. On October 8, 2026, Nike named him as one of the faces of Jordan Brand’s campaign for the 30th anniversary of Space Jam, alongside baseball star Aaron Judge, WNBA top draft pick Azzi Fudd and Teyana Taylor. Rema has been a Jordan Brand ambassador since November 2023, the first African entertainer to sign with the brand.
He also appears on Starrgirl, the August 2026 album by his Mavin labelmate Ayra Starr, who has just been booked for Coachella 2027.
From a Benin City Freestyle to the World
Rema’s rise started with one short video. Born Divine Joshua Ikubor on May 1, 2000, in Benin City, Edo State, he posted a freestyle over D’Prince’s “Gucci Gang” in February 2018. D’Prince travelled to Benin City to find him, and Jonzing World unveiled him on March 22, 2019, with a self-titled EP that included “Dumebi” and “Iron Man”.
“Iron Man” made Barack Obama’s 2019 summer playlist, and Rema won the Next Rated award at the Headies that same year. Since then, he has gone from Nigeria’s most exciting new act to one of the most streamed African artists in the world.
The EP format has served him well before. His early EPs in 2019 built his fan base before Rave & Roses, and Ravage kept him in the conversation between albums. A short project now gives fans fresh music while the bigger questions about his next album wait.

When E-Mortal Boy Comes Out
E-Mortal Boy lands on all streaming platforms on Friday, November 20, 2026.
The tracklist is the next thing to watch. Rema has promised it soon, and once it drops, fans will finally know who joins him on the seven songs. With “TEA” and “Oh No” already out, E-Mortal Boy could be the project that closes his 2026 on a high.
