Overall Meaning

The song "Skilashi" by Reminisce is a high-energy dance track that is dominated by its infectious beat. The song opens with a repetitive chant of "Sarz on the beat" before Reminisce jumps in with his distinctive rap style. In the verses, he talks about the importance of negotiation and understanding in relationships, even as he encourages his listeners to let loose on the dance floor. The chorus of the song features the catchy refrain "Skilashi" which is repeated throughout, punctuated only by Reminisce's shout of "Mama eeee!"


The song is an ode to the power of music and dance to bring people together and help them forget their worries. With its fast tempo, pulsating beat, and repetitive lyrics, "Skilashi" is designed to make people move, and it succeeds admirably at that goal. The lyrics themselves are not particularly deep or poetic, but they serve their purpose - to get people up and dancing. In many ways, the song is a celebration of the power of music to transcend language and cultural barriers, and to bring people of all backgrounds together in a shared experience.
