DREMO AND TENI TURN LIFE LESSONS INTO CONFIDENCE ON “I KNOW NOW”
Dremo is a highly acclaimed Nigerian rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer whose versatility has made him one of the recognisable voices in contemporary Nigerian hip-hop. Born Aboriomoh Femi Raymond, he rose to mainstream prominence as one of the leading artists under Davido’s DMW imprint, earning a reputation for sharp lyricism and an ability to move effortlessly between rap, Afrobeats, and melodic storytelling. On his latest single, “I Know Now,” featuring Teni, Dremo reflects on the lessons, setbacks, and experiences that have shaped his journey.
At the heart of the record is the realisation that nobody is guaranteed to show you the way. Dremo looks back on a period when he had to create his own opportunities, learn through experience, and figure things out without waiting for someone to hand him a roadmap. Dremo recognises that success is not always measured by money or immediate recognition, and that sometimes the greatest reward is simply becoming more certain of what you are capable of.
The song’s central refrain captures that transformation. “I did not know, but I know now” is a catchy line and also represents the shift from uncertainty to self-awareness.
Teni’s contribution adds another dimension to the record, complementing Dremo’s reflective verses with the celebratory energy of someone who has emerged from difficult experiences stronger and more certain. Together, they turn “I Know Now” into an encouraging reminder that growth often comes from navigating uncertainty, making mistakes, and continuing to move forward.
