After dropping the five-song EP Rapture<\/em> in March \u2014 the project was easily one of the best releases in 2019<\/a> so far \u2014 Koffee is back with a remix to the title track. “Rapture (Remix),” featuring fellow Spanish Town native Govana, adds an extra shot of adrenaline, throwing gasoline onto an already fire track. For the official remix video, the duo took it to the streets of their hometown to show how community, beauty and danger all intermingle on their island.<\/p>\n

“Koffee anna coffee, mi say no gimmicks \/ She a pro widit, treat di ridddim like she grow wid it,” Govana rhymes, propping up young Koffee as she awaits stardom.<\/p>\n
