Award-winning Aussie rapper Remi has dropped his fresh and powerful new video for ‘Ode To Ignorance’, his poignant and fiery new single, which addresses the issues of racism and growing up as an immigrant Down Under.

“This track is about mine and my family’s personal experience growing up and living mixed race in this country,” says Remi of the track. “It’s important for people to know that this is not targeted at any one person or any one race, it’s directed at ignorance in general.”

“My hope is that it raises some awareness and starts/continues some meaningful conversations about the racial climate in this country and what we can do to bring better equality. In the words of Kate Tempest, ‘There is no them, it’s just us.'”

The 23-year-old Australian Music Prize winner has unveiled the clip, directed by Melbourne film maker Jam Nawaz, to coincide with the US release of his multi-award winning album Raw X Infinity, as well as the LP’s worldwide Deluxe Edition release.
