Limoblaze and Reggie Dartey have linked up for ‘Rest II’, and this one is easy to enjoy from the first listen.
Limoblaze is one artist who has continued to carry Afro-gospel into different spaces. His sound has always had that African flavour, but still with a message of faith at the centre of it. One thing I also love about his music is how he brings Yoruba into his lyrics. That has become one of his signatures, and on this song, it gives the record more identity.
‘Rest II’ speaks about finding rest in God and not allowing the troubles around you to take your peace. The chorus carries that confidence that when trouble comes, God is still your defence. It is a simple message, but it is one many people can connect with.
Then the song moves into that sweet African chant that makes it even more catchy. That part gives the song more life, and before you know it, it stays in your head.
Reggie Dartey also brings his own smooth sound to the track. His delivery sits well with Limoblaze, and the collaboration does not feel forced. The song is calm, but it still has that bounce you can move to.
‘Rest II’ also gives listeners a taste of what to expect from the forthcoming “116 Summer Twenty-Six” project by 116, which is set to arrive on 31 July 2026.
116 is connected with Reach Records, and the name comes from Romans 1:16, “I am not ashamed of the gospel.” Their summer projects usually bring different Christian artists together across sounds like hip hop, Afro-gospel, R&B and other fresh expressions of gospel music.
With “Rest II”, Limoblaze and Reggie Dartey give us something smooth, catchy and rooted in faith.
